I open my browser and click on a few things and then go back to my word processor while I'm waiting for a webpage to load. The annoying behavior is that I"ll be typing, and I type darn fast, and then when the webpage is done loading, the focus will shift and I'll still be typing. I'll type half a word before I realize that I'm now looking at a webpage. Sometimes I even use the alt key or the control key and that's when it can really skrew me up. I've been using xfce and mwm and never had problems with focus shifting. anton
