I'm using fvwm1 with click-to-focus and lose-focus-on-screen-switch. If I move from one screen to another and quickly click on a window, the border changes colour to indicate that it has focus but keyboard input is ignored. If the target is an xterm, the cursor stays as a hollow rectangle instead of being filled - it looks like the WM knows that the window has focus but either forgets to tell the client or the client loses the message. It I leave the mouse in the target window for a while before clicking (maybe a few hundred msec) then all works correctly. I wonder if some X events are being delayed and misordered. >That's mainly irritating; the problem I describe above is annoying.
