Can the input focus for cmdtool and other Open Look applications be set to
followmouse when not using olwm? It seems odd that the resource
OpenWindows.SetInput: followmouse
works ONLY for olwm.
What have I missed?

Of course it only works with OLWM as OpenWindows is the resource for OLWM. *8-)
Other Window Managers have similiar resources; you must specify in your
.Xdefaults or WM startup file which focus you want.

I have received several replies like this. Let me elaborate further: In Motif you can specify: Mwm*keyboardFocusPolicy: pointer In fact, some motif applications like xrn will also use this resource. In twm/vtwm you set focus policy by putting: AutoRaise { "" } in your .twmrc file. Most window managers have similar functionality in the respect. In bothe of these examples, everything works as expected. All applications get input focus when the mouse enters their window. All EXCEPT the xview based applications, that is. I have not been able to get cmdtool to accept pointer focus under any conditions other than running under olwm. Now then, let me restate my question. Have you been able to get cmdtool to accept pointer focus under any other WM besides olwm?
