I recently switch from uwm to twm and an old problem I noticed in twm
still exists.  When my machine gets somewhat loaded and I move the cursor
to a new window and start typing, twm doesn't always catch up and the input
goes to the other window.  This never happened with uwm and is the main
reason I used to use it.  Is there any way to tell twm to check the times
of pointer and keyboard events so it knows which window keyboard input
is supposed to go to, regardless of whether it has caught up yet?
