- Hello,
- I am writing a window manager and would like the user to be able to
- assign focus to a client by clicking anywhere in the client. As it
- stands now, the user is forced to click on the decoration border window
- under which the client has been reparented. According to the Xlib
- Programming Manual Vol I., "Only one client can select button events
- on any one window at a time, due to the grab that automatically takes
- place." But mwm has been able to achieve this functionality. Any
- ideas?
-
- Thanks.
