Focus is not picked up when mouse moves in with KDE3 on the other head

[sillysloft]

Fluxbox version is 1.1.1 (RPM from openSUSE Build Service)

I am trying to use Fluxbox as a window manager on screen 1 only. Screen 0 is handled by KDE 3.5.10 which does not support multi-head anymore :-( . In the configuration menu, I have selected "Focus follows mouse". When moving the mouse cursor out of a window on screen 1, it does not loose focus (propably a feature rather than a bug, even though I would prefer not to have that). Moving the mouse to screen 0 makes the window loose its focus (maybe because KDE on screen 0 is set up to give focus to the window under the cursor, and if there is no window, no window will have focus). Then, moving the mouse back to the window on screen 1, that window will not gain focus. One has to click on the windows title bar to make it gain focus. If there is a second window on screen 1, moving to that will give it focus (no clicking necessary)!

Strangely, terminating the program in second window also gives focus to the first one. (This is probably unrelated and might also count as a not-so-desirable feature).

Right... mouse focus handling seems to be badly broken in 1.1.1; see also https://sourceforge.net/tracker/index.php?func=detail&aid=2827510&group\_id=35398&atid=413960.

This is (was) likely due to the focus protection handling in KDE (3 ;-) but might be an actual bug in how fluxbox gains focus in zaphod setups (needs testing agains a less sophisticated WM or KWin w/ FSP disabled)
