focus problems

[Rob Burns]

Hello,

More fodder for those working on focus issues....

I have some difficulties with using XIM input and apps that have 
panels. I usually have gnumail running with the Mailboxes panel open. 
If I compose a new mail (new mail window has focus), type a bit, and 
then activate the XIM input server, then type some more. when I then 
toggle the input server back off (so the text that you just typed in 
gets put into the mail), the Mailboxes panel gets focus. The text gets 
placed in the mail window fine, but to continue typing, its necessary 
to click on the mail window, to give it focus again. The behavior is 
also the same, when using TextEdit with the font panel open. And, with 
a small expense tracking app I have, that uses a panel.
