Actuallty KFM tries to use the sync focus transfer and may fail if the 
requested container is not the current. If this happens the KFM 
fallbacks to the async mode. Probably we could remove this warning I 
just copied it from the original spec. The aim of the bug is to provide 
access to an internal method which is being used by one app now. I did 
not change the original spec a lot.
