Well, I just looked at the list of bugs assigned to me. Non of them are serious, so I just started at the beginning. Anyway, why don't you try the attached files as a drop-in replacement for those in cvs. The code does all the first steps I think. Moreover, XGrabPointer is clearly NOT working for me whilst the loss of focus does ALWAYS because I shove the mouse into the browser when it is shown. (That's not to say that xforms isn't a pain in the arse at times. This is code is a horrible mess of fudges!) Have a good evening, Angus
