You mean, you rely on the focus not to change while Emacs's desktop is
not shown?  But if some idle timer causes Emacs to raise a frame, you
will also see Emacs with focus when you switch desktops, right?

I'm not sure I understand the basis for this expectation.  I'd
certainly not even remember in which state I left the applications
before switching away, and will look first when I switch back.
because applications can request focus for any number of reasons.

So I'm surprised that the fact that Emacs gets focus without your
knowing is regarded as a problem at all.
