Ok, I have ported my script-fu smart-sharpen over to gimp-2.2.x - sometimes 
Gimp-scripting is a little bit like voodoo, but now it works again.

So I attach the example png file filtered by smart-sharpen. You can clearly 
see that you can use a larger Amount compared to standard "unsharp masking" 
without getting halos and don't have this artefacts like in standard 
"sharpen" or "refocus"-plugin.
Of course this is not a solution for every kind of problem, every method has 
its pros and cons. But if you have a nealy sharp photo and wants to make it a 
little bit sharper after e.g. resizing then smart-sharpen is strong.
