Keys not responding when running MAME directly in X

Yeah, MAME isn't really intended to work that way.  Linux is enough of a headache when everyone's got a terminal and a WM and one of the 357 popular window managers.  If you can work out a way to get it going that doesn't do too much violence to the code we might be interested in the patch though.

Hi, I have a workaround for GM 0.171 which can be used for stock MAME (tested on 0.174). The location to re-establish the focus is not perfect due to SDL2 internal timed events which prevent a nice fix. The texture/surface handling is the best location in the current windows management queue to ensure that focus is treated in any case.
