[comp.windows.x] Another R5 wish twm misfeature

jim@ncd.COM (Jim Fulton) (09/04/90)

    When I move the
    mouse pointer from an active xterm window to one of the swapped-out 
    windows and start typing, input goes to the window that I WAS on until 
    the new window comes in from disk.

The problem is that the window manager is swapped out, not the xterm.  So,
it takes it a while to wake up and refocus on the new window.  One way to
avoid this is to put NoTitleFocus in your .twmrc, although it means that 
key strokes in the title bar will be sent to the application with SendEvent
rather than being delivered "normally".
