User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.8.0.9) Gecko/20070126 Ubuntu/dapper-security Epiphany/2.14 Firefox/1.5.0.9
Build Identifier: 

If files should be selected on mouse hover, they don't if the thunar window is not the topmost window. Files are still underlined when the mouse hovers over them.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Enable single click and select on hover in the preferences
2. Open another window in front of the thunar window
3. Rest the mouse over a file in the thunar window

Actual Results:  
The filename is underlined, but after the required delay the file is not selected

Expected Results:  
The filename should be underlined and after a small delay the file should be selected

This is the expected behavior. Hover selection is only enabled if the window has focus.
