#10863: XMPP Room List focus problem.

When you go to "Join a chat...", choose your XMPP account and pop up the
"Join a chat" dialog and then click the "Room List" button, the room list
opens behind the "join a chat" dialog, which is in turn behind the new
dialog that pops up asking you to "Enter a Conference Server". The
conference server is already filled in for me, so I click "Find Rooms"
(see attachment Image 1), but this just brings the focus back to the
original "Join a chat" dialog the same as it was before I clicked the
"Room List" button, with the actual room list (which is now populated with
the list of rooms I want to choose from) still unfocused behind the Join a
Chat dialog so that basically every time I have to manually switch focus
to the room list to get where I obviously wanted to be (see attachment
Image 2).
This seems to be a design flaw, where the optimal behavior should be for
the populated room list to be focused when I click the "Find Rooms" button
so that I can instantly choose the room I want without having to manually
change focus first.
This has been a longstanding issue for a number of versions now, so I
can't tell you when it first appeared. As far as I know it's always been
like this.
I was hesitant to call this a "defect", so I placed it under
"enhancement".
