- I would rather not have to catch these at the application level (ie
- X). Seems like the keyboard would work with views at the kernel level
- to automagically refocus on the top view. For example - /dev/kbd and
- /dev/mouse opened for read by many programs (may need different device
- numbers though), but only the top view gets input delivered. I have
- no idea what a "CX like daemon" is - maybe it is just this?

- True, but how about if the CPU is already busy? I am hoping I can
- use them *both* - there are plenty of other things the CPU can be doing,
- from calculating shapes in X to keeping that kernel compile going :-).
