I noticed that the problem was present on one of my Gentoo boxes (@7.2.303),
but not the other (@7.2.411), with identical configuration.
Bisecting based on what versions Gentoo has in portage, the fix came between
.376 and .402, so I'm pretty sure it was patch 386:
updated for version 7.2.386
Problem: Focus hack for KDE 3.1 causes problems for other window
managers.
Solution: Remove the hack. (forwarded by Joel Bradshaw)
which removed these lines:
- /* Terrible hack: When the text area still has focus when we remove the
- * dialog, somehow gvim loses window focus. This is with "point to type"
- * in the KDE 3.1 window manager. Warp the mouse pointer to outside the
- * window and back to avoid that. */
- if (!gui.in_focus)
- {
- int x, y;
-
- gdk_window_get_pointer(gui.drawarea->window, &x, &y, NULL);
- gui_mch_setmouse(-100, -100);
- gui_mch_setmouse(x, y);
- }
