I almost replied too quickly last night. I thought that the WM was
irrelevant, as it started happening after I upgraded Mozilla. I realize
that the WM may have been upgraded, as well.
I currently use Sawfish under Debian unstable (Debian package version
1.3-3, Mozilla 1.4-2). Sawfish is configured for click-to-focus, with
the "Click-to-focus mode passes the click through to the application"
and "Focus on application windows when they first appear" options
enabled.
Anyway, I started a second X session using fluxbox as the WM, and I
didn't experience the keyboard-focus issues with it, so I guess that's a
pretty clear indicator that it's a window-manager issue and not an
application issue. Anyway, some of the subtle changes to the way
Sawfish operates since I upgraded from woody to sid (and from Sawfish
1.0.1) have annoyed me, and I've been thinking more and more about
switching to fluxbox.
Now, if only I could delete bookmarks (got in the mood to do a little
housekeeping the other day)... but that might be because I just copied
over my bookmarks.html from my old .mozilla directory when I moved it
out of the way and created a new one. :)
