I am trying to use the Arduino IDE and it is not letting me give it keyboard focus. I too am using FVWM. Even when I launch it in its own desktop, it does not work. I cannot seem to make the Arduino IDE take keyboard focus, I can click endlessly on the window and nothing happens. I can use the menus and click anywhere in the sketch window and move the input position (with the mouse, never with the keyboard). I don't want to hack the Arduino IDE code itself, unless that is the only solution. Is there something in .fvwm2rc I can set to fix this? The Arduino IDE *used* to work just fine. I *guessing* it is something about the newer versions of CentOS (presently CentOS 6, kernel version 2.6.32-696.6.3.el6.x86_64) or FVWM (2.6.6-1.el6) I am using now (the last time I was sure it was working was with CentOS 5 and fvwm 2.5.26-2.el5.2). Even when I force the Arduino IDE to use Java 1.6, it still does not work. I have version 1.0.5 of the Arduino IDE.
