Thanks to Anselm, we figured out who to blame at least: the compiler.
This fixes it:

unfocus(selmon->sel, True);
selmon = m;
}
- focus(wintoclient(ev->window));
+ focus((wintoclient(ev->window)));
}
But evidently that's odd.
gcc version 4.4.3 (Gentoo 4.4.3-r2 p1.2)
I use the default config.mk (without XINERAMA stuff) and config.h.
In any case, that fixes the bug and now openoffice and firefox behave.
Thoughts?
