Is the problem that the clients aren't taking focus or have focus but aren't accepting keyboard input? My work system runs separate X servers on two heads (rather than ximerama) and I have problems with windows occasionally refusing to accept focus after I move the pointer from screen to screen (though I can get an alternative window to accept focus and then switch back to the window I originally wanted). This started after an X.org upgrade but I'm not sure which one. >The fact that new firefox windows accept input suggests that it's >somewhere in X. What X server? -- Peter Jeremy
