Sawfish focus issues [was: Re: gnome-libs patch]

[Federico Mena Quintero <federico helixcode com>]

Speaking of Sawfish issues, the following is the most annoying bug
ever:

0. Switch to focus-follows-mouse.

1. Launch Evolution.  (I assume Nautilus or any other program that
   uses embedded Bonobo controls may have the same problems).

2. Launch a full-screen xterm or some other non-Bonobo client that
   covers the Evolution window.

3. Put the mouse somewhere over the xterm where if the Evolution
   window were on top, it would have the focus.

4. Flip to another desktop.

5. Flip back to the original desktop.

At this point, the mouse is over the xterm and Evolution is
underneath.  However, Evolution will have the focus instead of the
xterm.  You have to move the mouse outside of the xterm and back
inside to have it regain focus.

This is what has all the Evolution hackers screaming all day long.
