<code snipped>

Thanks for the code snippet. I still think that - if the other WMs let
users focus the window anyway - ctwm probably should too.

I also found that disabling SloppyFocus cured another problem I had
with ctwm: switching by key combination to a windowless workspace often
(not always) made it impossible to switch to a different workspace via
the keyboard. This doesn't seem to occur without SloppyFocus, so I'll
just use ctwm this way for now.

Thanks,
DN
