- To answer your first question, you can get the 'xfeel' util from
- ftp-os2.nmsu.edu. This causes focus (and foreground) to follow the
- mouse.
-
- As for separating forground and focus, I don't know.
- Would it be possible to have a named pipe for the input to a program,
- and then have an xfeel like program send all keyboard input to the
- window which has the mouse pointer over it?
