Re: select-window focus problem [was: Re: minor compile.el bug]

Make sure you read the X stuff on input focus! It is perfectly reasonable for the user to be using focus-follows-mouse window manager policy but for an application to shift the focus to another of its windows (aka ^X-5-o should work). Then think about what the emacs variable focus-follows-mouse is supposed to do. My window manager policy is focus follows mouse (I hate click to focus) and I have focus-follows-mouse set to nil -- it all works the way it is supposed to. I remember much discussion about this a year or two ago. --pete
