hello,

i followed this discussion so far and wondered what your techniques are to have 
your running programs accepting input again. in my case, this phenomenon 
heavily depends on the windowmanager you chose. when being on fluxbox and 
having a running instance of firefox, it every once in a while refuses keyboard 
input. i have had this with other gtk apps, too, for example sylpheed.

to circumvent the problem and getting your application back to accept further 
keyboard input, i just switch workspaces back and forth and thats it, no matter 
on what windowmanager i am working. i never have desktops running, mostly 
isolated gtk apps, but from subjective experience i can tell that people 
running full blown gnome desktops, dont have such problems. as well as it does 
not seem to happen with qt apps for me. obviously, some windowmanagers dont 
deliver input correctly or some gtk apps have a problem with receiving a 
certain kind of message type.

frank
