At the moment the avant-window-navigator doesn't work with xfce because it steals the focus from all the other windows. There's a small patch, which has already been applied in svn that fixes this behavior: http://launchpadlibrarian.net/10696841/xfwm4-4.4.1-dock-window-fix.patch
This task depends upon

so, to fix a bug in avant we need to patch xfce?

It's not a bug in awn, it's a bug in xfwm4, and the patch is pretty clear in what it does. This patch, as I said, was already committed to the svn: it means that also the xfce developers think it's a bug in their app. Awn sets itself as WINDOW_TYPE_DONT_FOCUS (as it's a panel, not a window) and rightly expects the current WM to respect this choice...
