An note: I use windowmanager, some here use enlightenment, noone use gnome/kde and we all use "focus follows mouse", no clicking to activate a window. I tried gnome to see if I could reproduce it there. Although I didn't cope with it for very long, the problem did not arise. Perhaps I didn't try long enough, or perhaps it is related to the focus setting. Ther reason I suspect it this: When switching workspaces using keyboard shortcut, if the mouse pointer is placed so it is over two firebird windows, X cannot decide on which window to focus, and switches focus between the two windows as fast as it can, more than ten times / s, until I manually click a window title bar to force focus. I've never seen this happen ever before, but I've not used gtk2 much until now. See "image" for a clearer description :) mouse pointer is the `^'. ----------------- | | | -- |----------- | | | | | | ^ | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | ----------------- | | | --------------- Also, sometimes, focus works bad and I cannot write any text in the firebird window. refocusing by switching to another window and back usually resolves it, but this is a first sign that it will eventually lock up as described before. I have seen this on different sites (at home and at the office), but I always use "focus follows mouse". I will try changing focus strategy in windowmanager and see if this helps.
