Since the following worked on my F16,

  yum -y fedora-release-rawhide
  yum -y --enablerepo=rawhide update claws\*

I can report that I cannot reproduce the focus issues (previously bug 711257)
with 3.7.10. So, they could be specific to Rawhide, such as changes in
gnome-shell or mutter. What does your yum.log say about the recent updates?
