With all the buzz about 4.0 and X and the dissappearence of NeWS, I have only one hope: I have become *very* accustomed to just moving my mouse to change which window I'm typing in, where my experience with Motif has (on the RS6000's) been that you have to pop that window before you can type in it. I find that very annoying and I hope that feature of NeWS is not lost in its implementation on these machines. Just a comment. Tom Rohling.

The click-to-type vs. having the focus follow the pointer is up to the window manager you are using. In 4Dwm (as in mwm) this is configurable by placing the line *keyboardFocusPolicy: pointer into your configuration file. I believe the default value for 4Dwm is what you are accustomed to. PK
