[Xquartz-dev] keyboard/mouse focus issues

[Pelle Johansson]

No, not yet, but I'll make sure to try that. I haven't actually  
downloaded alpha3 yet, I'm running the server tip from Oct 13 right  
now...
This made me remember when I first saw this issue. It was just before  
alpha1 was released when I was trying to build the 1.6 server  
anyway... I thought then that I messed it up somehow, that's why I  
didn't bring it up myself.

One strange thing I noticed now while testing is that the events are  
delivered when I minimize the window, so they have to be queued up  
somewhere, but stuck, and then when the window is minimized they  
finally get unstuck. They are all sent to the window minimized last.

This is easily reproducable if you have the issue:
start two xev
get the server stuck
type a key into one of the windows
change front window using the window menu
type another key
make sure the window you want to minimize first is the active one
minimize using the window menu.

You should see all the KeyPress and KeyRelease events delivered to the  
window minimized last, can someone reproduce this?
