My department has just "upgraded" me to a new machine running FC6 - I was previously running FC5.
Among the several things that no longer work properly, one is window-manager related, but rather odd. Here's what happens. I have a very simple desktop: a few windows, mostly xterms and emacsen, controlled by an IconMgr in the top right. I use SloppyFocus. The following undesired behaviour happens: get a window (xterm) say, move the mouse in, and type - all ok. move the mouse to the icon manager entry for the window, and then through the entries for some iconified windows - our window should remain focussed. Move the mouse out in to the root window. Our window should still have focus. Indeed, it is still highlighted, but it loses keyboard focus - or at least doesn't respond to keyboard events. It doesn't regain focus until the mouse has been moved into another open window and back again. I most often see this when opening a window from the icon manager: usually I then don't have keyboard focus in it. However, it's not quite that simple, as occasionally things work when I expect them not to. What I find really odd is that I'm running the exact same fvwm binaries (fvwm 2.4.18 (or 2.4.20 - it doesn't matter)) as I was before in FC5, but still this odd behaviour happens, so there must be some change in the X server or the libraries to make it happen. Any ideas?
