>Description:

NOTE!!! This is NOT about the OS revision -- this is xsrc-current!

If you can't reproduce the problem with the same programs built from
xsrc-current then show exactly what's different in your environment!

	Xsun and XsunMono (and presumably Xsun24) from xsrc/xfree/xc
	have some kind of adverse affect on the ability of a standard
	window manager, such as the twm binary also built from the same
	sources, or ctwm-3.7 and ctwm-3.8a, to control keyboard focus
	with the normal focus-follows-mouse mode of operation.

	Xsun and XsunMono from xsrc/xc worked as expected.

	Note that the window manager correctly identifies the window it
	thinks is active when the mouse cursor moves (e.g. by
	highlighting the window title bar, etc.)

	In ctwm the keyboard focus stays with the workspace manager
	window after workspaces are changed by clicking into the
	workspace manager (note that normally with ctwm "click-to-focus"
	requires the meta modifier key to be pressed when clicking on
	the target window, or for the target's title bar to be clicked
	on)

	In any case this, along with other regressions in Xserver
	functions (such as the screensaver botch), is a very serious
	regression in support for Sun Sparc systems since the move to
	xfree/xc.  I don't expect xorg/xc will be any better given its
	apparent heritage, but if I can figure out how to get it to
	build on sparc I'll give it a go.  Mean while I'm back to the
	XsunMono binary from the last xsrc/xc before it was marked dead
	for the time being.  This has cost me several days already all
	told.

	Note also that the problem may be somewhat random too -- once
	after a power outage early in February the subsequent reboot and
	start-up left keyboard focus suddenly working properly.
	Following a power outage yesterday it failed again and I've
	rebooted dozens of times, restarted the Xserver even more times,
	and restarted the window manager uncountable times, played with
	three different window managers (all twm based), all with no
	success or change in mis-behaviour.

>How-To-Repeat:

	start Xsun or XsunMono in failsafe mode (i.e. without a window
	manager), e.g. from xdm by pressing F1 after entering your
	password

	start a second xterm

	observe that keyboard focus follows the mouse as you move the
	mouse cursor over each xterm window and press keys

	start twm

	observe that keyboard focus no longer follows the mouse cursor

	kill twm

	observe that keyboard focus once again follows the mouse cursor

>Fix:

	unknown -- I don't even know where to begin to look in the
	sources for where/how the window manager interacts with the
	Xserver to control keyboard focus
