I have a script banish.sh bound to one of those multimedia keys on my
keyboard.  It uses wmctrl (with a small patch) to determine
coordinates of the active window, and symox to move the mouse pointer
to the bottom right of it.  I use it to prevent flash getting the
keyboard in the first place, but it could easily call the conkeror
unfocus command I saw mentioned a while back on the list.  I can send
the script/patch if anyone is interested.

Cheers,
Len.
