I've tried everything from switching desktops to killing fvwm2. This is how I know it's not window-manager related. As I said before, I can have two rxvts side-by-side. I focus over the left one, type, nothing appears. I focus over the right one, type, keyboard works. Focus back over the left one, nothing. Rinse, repeat. The problem happens more often with GTK apps than a plain rxvt. It's difficult to reproduce the problem, so it's nearly impossible to test. If it were more repeatable, I would have written a test client. Next time it happens, I'll try xev. But I haven't had the problem since I stopped using x11vnc. I only use the nVidia drivers and x.org. -- Rick C.
