#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".
