Don't ask me why, because pressing the Meta key brings up the widget - without a Space. Thank you and Andrew. -- Regards, Peter.

I went to town today and locked it up before I left. When I came back, used your little script trick and it worked great. It mounts and everything for me. Now I'll make one to umount and close as well. No prompting so it should be easy enough. Thanks for the tip. Dale :-) :-)
[gentoo-user] Re: FVWM: xterm*VT100.Translations only when mouse is over the window with focus

It is the same behavior as other terminals and other programs. Style "*" SloppyFocus The left click xterm menu has a Secure Keyboard option. In this mode the xterm grabs the keyboard and doesn't give it up until it is minimized or you ask it to give it up. The idea is nothing else can grab your keyboard while you type in a password, for the paranoid I guess. You might want to read about it in the man page see securekbd, and see if once it grabs the keyboard if it still gets the keys no matter where the mouse is (what I see). The behavior you describe is something like what ssh-askpass-gnome does, only in that case it grabs the keyboard focus, then ignores all keys until the mouse is over it. I find this annoying because I have hotkeys to move the mouse around, which don't work because it has a keyboard grab. Ah, sorry, I should have mentioned, ClickToFocus. I am certain this is not some kind of subtle interplay of features, like you're suggesting. ClickToFocus does not behave this way on Linux, just on Cygwin.
