Hi,

I am currently having a problem running a remote Solaris Xclient under
Blackbox on a linux machine. The problem is that the window the
Xclient runs in will never receive focus. After running xprop I found
under the "WM_HINTS" section that the client does not "accept input or
input focus". twm seems to ignore this and give the window focus
anyway. Any suggestions on how to fix this for blackbox? I do not want
to change window managers since blackbox is so clean and simple to use.
Also I cannot alter the Xclient's code at all. Thanks in advance :)
I've created a little "application" that works for me (tested on xclock). All it does is to change the "input"-bit in the WM_HINTS. The window in question is selected with the mouse...

You should be able to compile with a command similar to the one below:

g++ -L/usr/X11R6/lib -lX11 -lXmu changehints.cc -o changehints
(Don't mind the app-name... :-)


I've put it on the BB-patches page although it is not actually a patch - sorry about that...
