Using OW3/olwm on a 16MB SLC has long given me a problem with the 
focus missing the right window at times. This happens when the system
is doing something (like swapping, which it does quite often) and
I move the mouse to a different window at the same time. I find that
I have to make sure the focus is in the window I meant it to be in,
or I will often miss the right window and type into a different
one. 

I was amazed to see the same behaviour on a new 16MB LX running
Solaris 2.1 and the OW3.x that comes with it! I would expect such
a serious bug would be fixed by now.

Anyone out there know of a way to bypass this behaviour, other than
adding memory to the machine? This is definitely NOT acceptable
behaviour for the focus, and it seems that you cannot do reliable
follow-mouse focus in OW3/olwm as it is shipped from Sun...

Any tips appreciated,
