If that is the problem, it would be lovely if it could be fixed, >but I am not exactly experienced with programming for X. The mention of WM_TAKE_FOCUS brought back memory about another piece of information I found about this. The following bug entry at debian against ctwm https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=725286 references a longish discussion at the xmonad tracker http://code.google.com/p/xmonad/issues/detail?id=177 which discusses several work-arounds and patches for xmonad. I plan to look at these in detail and try them, though I have the same problem: Not much experience with X programming. Thanks for the memory refresh, Matthias Kievernagel
