From: "Thomas H. Grayson" <thg@MIT.EDU>

System name:		mandela-1.mit.edu
Type and version:	Sun-Blade-100 9.0.27 (with mkserv)
Display type:		m

Shell:			/bin/athena/tcsh
Window manager:		sawfish

What were you trying to do?
	Type in gnome-terminal immediately after logging in.

What's wrong:
	Immediately after logging in, my cursor is placed over
	the initial default gnome-terminal window.  However,
	the window does not have focus, and I can't type in
	it.  When I move the mouse out of and back in the window,
	it gets focus and I can type.  In the Gnome control
	center under "Focus behavior," I have these selections:

	When does the mouse pointer affect the input focus:  enter-only

	Focus on application windows when they first appear.:  checked

	Dialog windows inherit the focus from their parent.:  checked

	Raise windows when they are focused.:  unchecked

	By the way, this also happens on Linux with Athena 9.0 and
	9.1.

What should have happened:
	The terminal window should have focus right away and be ready
	for input.

Please describe any relevant documentation references:
