It probably doesn't have anything to do with your problem directly, but maybe I should mention that I too had trouble going from Ubuntu 9.04 to 9.10 (and later). I have a mechanism in Fvwm to automatically flip focus when switching pages or closing windows. While this autofocusing itself had no trouble, it had some bad interactions with a couple of special case windows whose focusing I want to work differently. AFAIK, this was caused by changes to X, because I tried several different versions of Fvwm and Ubuntu and only changing the OS would cause the problem. I fixed it by modifying my Fvwm config. -- Thanks, Jonathan Kotta Hofstadter's Law: It always takes longer than you expect, even when you take into account Hofstadter's Law.
