Focus bug or feature?

[roger]

Olivier,
I'm aware that the description of those (minor) problems I sometimes observe 
is pretty useless and may not be related to Xfce at all. Besides I can't say 
that this wouldn't happen with KDE or Gnome since I never use them, though 
they too are installed on my system: when you get used to a Ferrari, it's 
pretty difficult to go back to a 2CV... sorry, wrong comparison... a 2CV 
wouldn't take much resource :)
I just wanted to see if someone had experienced similar things and, maybe, had 
better information to reproduce them. Anyway thanks for your consideration.

Xavier,
Lesstif is a great product but has some (known) issues. You may try a NEdit 
binary statically linked against Motif 2.1.30 (the "real" Motif) and see 
whether that fixes your issues.

Cheers,
Roger
