- I don't know if it will help but you should probably set the mwm/vuewm
- resource "enforceKeyFocus" to False. When set to True (the default),
- mwm/vuewm is not playing by the ICCCM rules. mwm/vuewm will do an
- XSetInputFocus to top-level windows when it hasn't been requested to
- and if I remember correctly, it does it with a timestamp of
- CurrentTime! Very anti-social. I spent spent a bunch of hours
- tracking this one down...
