In GNU Emacs 18.52.7 of Tue Nov  8 1988 on paris.Berkeley.EDU (berkeley-unix)

There's a comment in x11term.c saying:

      /*
       * NOTE: No 'Focus' management is being done yet. If
       * some other window has grabbed the focus, emacs will
       * still show a filled cursor whenever the pointer
       * enters the emacs window.
       */

Has anyone patched the code to handle input focus, by any chance?  I
am interested in any changes that would make the cursor highlighting
correspond to the input focus (still being on if there's no focus and
the pointer is in the window), and also to allow the user to specify a
mouse button to grab the input focus.

Thanks,

- Fred -
