Re: [xmonad] Issue 40 in xmonad: Screen focus does not follow the mouse pointer

Comment #10 on issue 40 by hanswc...@gmail.com: Screen focus does not follow the mouse pointer http://code.google.com/p/xmonad/issues/detail?id=40 I think I can still reproduce this (or a similar) bug in xmonad 0.10. If I move the mouse cursor to an empty screen, for example, that screen doesn't get focus (launched applications will show up on the previous screen). The workspace focus only changes when entering a window or with keyboard shortcuts. I use xrandr with NVIDIA's proprietary drivers.

Comment #11 on issue 40 by daniel.w...@gmail.com: Screen focus does not follow the mouse pointer http://code.google.com/p/xmonad/issues/detail?id=40 Please post your config (xmonad.hs) and give the exact sequence of actions you do to reproduce the problem.

Comment #12 on issue 40 by hanswc...@gmail.com: Screen focus does not follow the mouse pointer http://code.google.com/p/xmonad/issues/detail?id=40 OK, I believe I've found the problem: I use Plasma Desktop (from KDE) to draw my desktop, and it seems like it prevents the virtual root windows from detecting that the mouse cursor has entered. Is there any way to workaround this? I can reproduce this with this mostly default xmonad.hs: http://mogger.ath.cx/xmonad.hs (I've only added "manageHook kde4Config" to manageHook, to make Plasma Desktop play nicely with xmonad, and of course imported XMonad.Config.Kde.) Note that Plasma Desktop must be running. If I close it the screen focus will work as expected.
