Hi Olivier:

Welcome back. Hope your little vacation provided you with some R&R. :)

I do not  have motif (or openmotif) installed at this time.  Instead,  lesstif,
Version 0.93.34-2mdk is installed. ICYDK,  " Lesstif is an API compatible clone
of the Motif toolkit. Most of the Motif 1.2 API is in place. ... "
However, I am using the MDK compiled nedit & do not know what they used to
compile it.
BUT, I get this from nedit version info:
#> nedit -V
NEdit 5.3
Jun 1, 2002

     Built on: Linux, x86, GNU C
     Built at: Jul 21 2002, 07:40:41
   With Motif: 2001 [@(#)GNU/LessTif Version 2.1 Release 0.93.34]
Running Motif: 2001
       Server: Mandrake Linux (XFree86 4.2.1, patch level 3mdk) 40201000


So, it looks like they used lesstif.
The AXmedit 1.2 Free Arabic Editor for Linux does not provide such info - do
not know which "motif" (or clone) they used.

I got the OpenMotif 2.2.2-3 pkg from the MDK club but installing it will
overwrite some of the lesstif-devel files( libMrm.so,  libUil.so  and  libXm.so
) which could make problems with other aps that depend on them.  However, if
you want me to do it, I will...

In any event, none of these focus-type problems exist in any other DE/WM that I
have installed for MDK 9, and they did not exist, AFAIK, prior to the changes
made to fix some of the other problems with dialogs, so it is somehow related
to one of the fixes to xfwm4 - ithink since the N'scape & Java applet icq.com
fixes, BICBW.

Thought for today:
Gardening tip:
The preferred targets of yellow jackets are sweet fruit such as strawberries, 
blueberries, tree fruit, melons and the gardeners who tend them. Damage signs 
include holes in ripe fruit and a buzzing noise followed by a sharp pain.
