feature idea: prevent apps from stealing the focus

[Olivier Fourdan]

Tom,

Nothing can prevent an app from changing focus (XSetInputFocus() can be
called from any app).

The WM could try to revert the change, but that's a bit like a hack. I
can imagine that an app calling XSetInputFocus() does that for good
reasons.

In other words, I don't think it's a good idea :)

Cheers,
Olivier.
