Re: evolution vs sawfish

[David Hoover <karma deadmoose com>]

I've actually seen this with a LOT of applications (gnome-terms, galeon,
gimp, etc), so I doubt it's program specific, it's probably a sawfish
glitch.

What I've also seen occasionally is this:
When using the crux theme, I can quickly move into a window, and it'll
START giving it focus (and the part of the window frame gets drawn in
blue for focused versus grey for unfocused), and then think better of
it, at which point something else (an old terminal, nautilus, etc.)
keeps focus, but PART of the other window frame is drawn like it's got
focus.

My workaround is the same as yours; when it happens, I start mousing
more slowly.
