I tried to log into KDE session, though, to see if there is any difference. Problem 1 - works under KDE. So this *IS* a Metacity issue, as this worked with sawfish in MDK8.2 as well. Please note that I am talking about keyboard focus in here - clicking on links (and mouse actions generally) in Mozilla window works, shortcut or keyboard input does not. Looks like "Click to focus" option is broken, as it does not work in other applications too. I tested the "Point on focus" option, and that one works as expected. Since "Click to focus" is the default option, I suggest that Mandrake folks look at it and possibly fix it. Problem 2 - occurs also under KDE. The freeciv client has the same modality problem under KDE, so I guess this is something to bug freeciv developers. Michal
