Re: redhat-6.0: New Enlightenment focus behaviour

["Peter C. Norton" <spacey-gnome-list lenin nu>]

I see something similar - sloppy focus seems to only get transferred
to the window under the pointer if the pointer actually crosses the
window frames border.  If I switch desktops using alt+shift+arrow and
the mouse pointer lands squarely in the middle of a gnome-terminal,
and possibly other apps (emacs being a definite) the focus does not go
to the app - it's dead.

I don't know if this is the proper behavior.  All I know is that fvwm
did this, so I came to expect it and it's lack is making me think
"windowmaker..."

In five years we'll make up another plan.
Or just re-use this one.
