If the titlebars' colors have all changed as expected, the
window's taken focus. It doesn't matter, though. I expect that
the app manages the input of all its windows centrally. Which
window has the X keyboard focus is really a technicality. In
fact, that's really the only way that what you've described can
happen. X11, as far as I know, sends keyboard events to
whichever window has focus when the events happen, so even if
they wind up going to a different window than has focus, the
focused window still must have received them.
