Thanks for the infos so far,
Some more infos from me:
I am on debian testing
and have ctwm 3.7-3.3 installed.
I don't see any focus related settings
in /etc/X11/ctwm/system.ctwmrc and ~/.ctwmrc
so I should be running the ctwm defaults.
At least I can see I have 'focus follows mouse'.
I have attached my ~/.ctwmrc
(Please don't laugh - I haven't changed this in maybe 10 years
- I am not customizing a lot :P)
I gave those a short try:
- wmname LG3D
- update-alternative switch from oracle to openjdk
- _JAVA_AWT_WM_NONREPARENTING=1
(which I found at: http://awesome.naquadah.org/wiki/Problems_with_Java)
I did not see any change in behaviour so far.
I don't have the time currently to experiment extensively, though.
Regards,
Matthias Kievernagel.
P.S. Are you the Olaf Seibert who ported nethack to the Amiga long ago?
Big late thank you for that from here :)
