What were you trying to do?
Use an xterm pop-up menu, select an option, and then let go
while the mouse was over an emacs window.
What's wrong:
If you select something from the xterm option menu such that
when you let go, the mouse will end up over an emacs window,
emacs will not get the focus. The xterm that you selected the
option on has the focus. TWM highlights the title bar of emacs,
though, and emacs's cursor lights up, even though it does not
have focus. (I know that the emacs cursor-light-up code is a
hack, though, so that's understandable...)
This does not happen between xterm and another xterm.
This also does not happen when running mwm, but mwm does funky
things with focus, so...
If you don't understand what I'm saying here, come see me for a
demo, or I can maybe draw a "picture" with text characters...
I think that the problem is this: Emacs's WM_HINTS "input" field
is False. It should be True, if I read my ICCM correctly.
What should have happened:
Emacs should get the focus correctly.
Please describe any relevant documentation references:
None.
