Bug Description

I have a two screen setup, separate X screens.

Steps to reproduce:

1.) move the mouse pointer to screen 0 and display a message on screen 0 by entering "notify-send bla" in a terminal on screen 0.
2.) while the message is being displayed on screen 0, activate a window on screen 1, then move back the mouse cursor to screen 0.
3.) When the displayed message disappears, the terminal window on screen 0 gets reactivated without the user doing anything at all.

Expected result: it may be ok that notify-send displays messages on the screen where the mouse cursor currently resides and thereby totally ignoring any DISPLAY var setting, but it is definitely not ok to simulate user input by changing the input focus.
