Yep - this is why I said the WM will have to support this. > I think it would need either two event queues, or a new parameter > in the event queue to say which input group created the event. > I don't know that area, but I'm not sure that such a change could be done > without changing the protocol. Hmm, can this be worked around? Apps don't need to know which input group provided the input, and to them they could see just one input group. (If two input groups have focus on the same window, perhaps merge the two event queues.) > I really don't like the sound of that.
