It is my understanding that SloppyFocus is supposed to be very similar to FocusFollowsMouse, except that the focus is not moved to the root window (and instead it stays on the previous window). The things you mention that differ from that sound like bugs somewhere. Note that there are programs that for whatever reason indicate they dont want to receive focus, and I think that ctwm then faithfully complies (even though most programs should never say such a thing). I don't use SloppyFocus (just FocusFollowsMouse), and I noticed that for instance xconsole does't seem to want input focus. And as a result, keyboard shortcuts for window depth arrangement don't work on it. (Maybe that could be fixed somehow too) But it is weird that the SloppyFocus behaviour would have changed over versions, because I'm not aware of any intentional changes here. Maybe some programs somehow react differently if the "modern" Extended Window Manager Hints are supported. Although for xev, I cannot imagine such a thing... > Anyone know anything about this? It should probably be documented. At the very least, the manual currently doesn't say anthing useful about SloppyFocus. -Olaf. -- ___ Q: "What's an anagram of Banach-Tarski?" -- Olaf "Rhialto" Seibert \X/ A: "Banach-Tarski Banach-Tarski." -- rhialto at falu dot nl
