Howdy.... I just put up the X11R4 clients and am very happy with the way the R4 xterm works over IBM's aixterm (Thank you Mr. Greening). I am still having one problem thou. When I move the mouse out of the window I loose the focus for that window. Can someone tell me where/how I can control the focus for the windows. I would really like it if the window focus for mwm was treated like twm treats them, I don't like having to click on the window to use it. Is twm working anywhere.... If so where can I get a copy of the source/patch?

Well, I'm a little confused about which behavior you prefer here, so here's how you get either one. To make keyboard focus follow the mouse, add this line to your .Xdefaults (this presumes you're using mwm, but you refer to it above so I'll assume that's what you want): Mwm*keyboardFocusPolicy: pointer If you want input focus to remain with a window even after you've moved the cursor out of that window (i.e. if you want focus changes to occur only after explicitly clicking in a window) add the following to your .Xdefaults: Mwm*keyboardFocusPolicy: explicit Hope that helps.

I doubt IBM wants them.......
