Well, I dunno what version that is, though https://man.netbsd.org/NetBSD-9.1/i386/ctwm.1 lists 3.7. Yow. But anyway, xev doesn't set any WM_HINTS, so it'd be 4.0.0 before we started forcing focus onto it anyway. So, one _could_ argue that, as a program that's there to monitor events, and probably wants keyboard events, it's a bug that it doesn't ask the WM for keyboard events too... but yeah, current version would be always giving it focus anyway. -- Matthew Fuller (MF4839) | fulle...@over-yonder.net Systems/Network Administrator | http://www.over-yonder.net/~fullermd/ On the Internet, nobody can hear you scream.
