Summary: OpenWindows & CDE

Thanks for all who replied. Since I have to work on
other projects at the moment I won't be able to try
any of the following ideas until the end of next
week. Here are some of the tips I received for trying
to stop a window from being active by simply putting
the mouse cursor over the window.

make active

Quite a few wrote something like this:
In CDE, right-click on desktop, choose Tools ->
Desktop Controls ->
Windows Style Manager. Choose "Click in Window to Make
Active".
I should have stated that I already did this.

This is definitely configurable. The relevant X
resource should be
Dtwm*keyboardFocusPolicy . I have it set to "pointer",
but that's
precisely the behavious you say you don't want. "man
dtwm" should
tell you more. The default is supposed to
be "explicit", which is
what you want, but maybe someone else changed it.

Thanks again,
Robert Abenoja
