[comp.windows.x] Why does Motif window manager ignore InputHint ?

evgabb@sdrc.UUCP (Rob Gabbard) (05/09/90)

In the OSF/Motif Programmer's Guide it states that the Motif Window Manager
will not set input focus to a window if you set the window manager hint
element input to False.  However, this does not seem to be the case. When 
this flag is set, the DEC window manager behaves like I'd expect - I can
click in the window and the input focus does not go to it but Mwm sets the
focus contrary to the docs ? Has anyone noticed this and if so have you got
a workaround ?
