Hi All,
I have been having a problem with --managed mode and sawfish for quite some
time now. Sawfish is configured with enter-exit focus.
When a menu, combobox, or other items which pop up are displayed, they go
away if the application window they belong to loses focus. With sawfish,
moving onto the menus area causes the app to loose focus, so the menu
disappears as soon as you move the mouse over it.
When running Netscape (the Linux version that is) a similar thing happens in
that when you open a menu, the app loses focus and the menu appears to get
it.
When running a KDE program (I used kcontrol to try it) behavior is similar
to netscape, the application window does loose focus, but the menus work
fine.
When running anything GTK, things behave as expected, if you pop open a
menu, the menu grabs the pointer and you must either select something from
the menu or click anywhere else on the screen to dismiss it (and the click
is not passed through). That I believe is the correct behavior for an
application (at least it makes sense to me). Also, the app keeps the focus
so the title bar doesn't annoyingly flash like it does with KDE programs.
So my question is, where do I have to go to fix this problem. I assume it
has something to do with x11drv needing to grab the mouse when displaying
pop-ups like menus and comboboxes.
Thanks,
-Dave
