> can you with playing alt-tab get the keyboard back?

Hi Rein,

I am running Xfce 4.4.2 (no 4.6 as there are no RPM's).

When I opened up the document to double check the symptom before trying
alt-tab, I tested the doc by clicking at the bottom of the document, checked
that the cursor was flashing at the bottom, and hit "enter" several times.  Up
came three Thunderbird messages.  Hmmm.  So I X'ed out the messages and tried
again, up came more Thunderbird messages.   Hmmmm X2.  So I killed Thunderbird
and tried again, this time typing "aaaaaaaa".  Nothing appeared in my document,
But "hey!" my Google search bar in Firefox now had a bunch of a's in it.

Okay, so now to try the alt-tab.  But first, I noticed that even though the
mouse works on everything in my test documents, the title bar is still gray. 
So one mouse click on the tool bar, which then turns blue, and I can type in my
document.  No need for alt-tab: just click on the title bar.

Okay again.  Some more tests.  I am able to duplicate the problem in Lotus 123
(same version).  But not Lotus Approach (same version) and not Note Pad Plus.
Double checking in Virtual Box XP, symptoms can not be duplicated anywhere.

So, the problem restricted to Word Pro and 123.  Both will accept mouse
commands (positioning, menus, etc.) but will not accept keyboard input as the
program itself stays out of focus, even when accepting mouse commands.

Would you please fix this for me?

Many thanks,
-T
