This raises an interesting point. One of the events SunView can trap
is the mouse entering and exiting the window. One use is to change the
mouse cursor while in one window. (One program we have called fig,
tracks the mouse and provides horizontal and vertical arrows on the top
and left grid.)

Now what happens when several applications are open, and the mouse is
moved through each of the windows? 

Is the application with the mouse over it active, or the application on top?

If it is the application on top, then lower applications wouldn't
receive the events of the mouse passing through the window.
