Hi,

There are two things that I recognize as bugs, but I'm not quite sure if
they are in BB itself, in bbkeys or in the interaction between the two.
Here goes:

Blackbox Version 0.61.1
bbkeys Version 0.8.2

"Window Switching Focus Error"
------------------------------
Focus Model: Sloppy Focus
Focus New Windows: Yes
Focus Window on Workspace Change: Yes
Image Dithering: Yes
Full Maximation: No

Window Placement (probably irrelevant to this problem):
Smar Placement (Columns), Bottom to Top, Left to Right

Now, occasionally, when I have two (or multiple) windows and use alt-tab
to switch windows (as configured through bbkeys), but have the
mouse-pointer over the first window, the window I alt-tabbed to will
receive focus, but immediately give it back to the window with the
mouse-pointer (as sloppy focus suggests).  The only way for me to focus
the other window is either use the mouse to move the pointer to that
window, or use the mouse to remove the pointer from the first window --
once the mouse-pointer is over another window (including the
root-window), alt-tabbing works as normal again.

Note that alt-tabbing works about 95% of the time and this weird
behaviour occurs on seemingly random instances - I have not been able to
determine a pattern.  Does anybody else experience this?


"bbkeys stops working after certain Qt apps"
--------------------------------------------

I believe we discussed this earlier, but IIRC it has not been fixed:
When running a Qt-Application such as Licq, qtella or Opera bbkeys does
not get back control over the keys if you selected a menu.  It seems
that Qt-apps grab the keyboard and don't let go, until you physically
focus another window using the mouse.  Interestingly, it appears that
this does not occur when using Qt-3.0, but mostly with Qt-2.x apps.
Possibly, this is a bug/misbehaviour/"Feature" in Qt?


Just wanted to throw these two things into the whole discussion
regarding the need for further development of BB. :)
