Yes, you're completely correct - the problem is only a *FvwmPager: SloppyFocus thing, and nothing related to ClickTime.
It would probably be nice to have the FvwmPager man page updated to reflect the limitation of the *FvwmPager: SloppyFocus option when used in conjunction with other window focus methods. That way I would have never bothered you! :) Thanks >>>>> On Tue, 7 Aug 2001, Dominik Vogt wrote: Dominik> On Mon, Aug 06, 2001 at 06:57:18PM -0700, Pete Gelbman wrote: +> > >>>> On Sun, 5 Aug 2001, Dominik Vogt wrote: Dominik> On Fri, Aug 03, 2001 at 05:19:06PM -0500, fvwm-bug wrote: +> FVWM Bug Tracking notification +> new message incoming/753 +> Message summary for PR#753 From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: SloppyFocus +> sometimes won't refocus properly Date: Fri, 03 Aug 2001 17:19:05 -0500 0 +> replies 0 followups +> Full_Name: Pete Gelbman Version: 2.4.0 CVS_Date: OS: Solaris 2.6 +> X_Server: ?
