[I wonder if this is a FAQ. I couldn't find the answer in the archives.] I use pwm as my window manager. Sometimes I want to run Xnest and run pwm under Xnest. I find that when pwm is my man window manager and the window manager under Xnest, pwm interprets each key press as a request to display the root menu. The root menu responds to selections. It's just that typing is effectively disabled in the Xnest.
Is there a patch for this behavior? I'm using pwm-20010309, XFree86 4.2.0, NetBSD 1.6E. I'd be surprised if it's related to XF86 or NetBSD. No other window manager that I've tried (twm, blackbox, oroborus) behaves that way. David Talmage
