That was a good hint. It led me on a long trail which finally ended in gtk. If your copy of Mozilla is built against gtk2, I believe this patch will fix your problems: http://bugzilla.gnome.org/attachment.cgi?id=46042&action=view You may need a gnome account to access that page but I don't think so. The patch is about a month old so there may be a release containing the patch. I built from source. I believe it finally fixed a Mozilla focus problem I've been having. -- Dan Espen E-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] -- Visit the official FVWM web page at <URL: http://www.fvwm.org/>.
