Comment #48 on issue 177 by ml.nwgreen: xmonad does not follow ICCCM and ignores WM_TAKE_FOCUS protocol http://code.google.com/p/xmonad/issues/detail?id=177 Sorry for any ignorance revealed by this comment but... Not used to darcs or haskell. However, I applied the patch from Comment 33 with darcs apply <patchname>.dpatch Then ran Setup with configure/build/install Then restarted xmonad (and later did a full reboot just to be sure). I still have the following behavior in netbeans / jvi click in editor hit : (bring up seperate command subwindow that gets focus) hit escape or enter (closing command window) cursor is gone, only way back to editor is by cilcking inside it, which of course renders netbeans / jvi unusable... A) Is this the problem the patch was supposed to solve? and B) If so, any ideas as to why it is not solved?
