I think I have found a bug with Epoch 4.2.  

Usually, four different indicators change state when i move my mouse
about my X terminal changing pointer the focus from one window to
another.

  1) the window border changes color.
  2) the titlebar is highlighted or changed back to normal.
  3) the border of the relevant window entry the in icon manager is
     highlighted.
  4) and, cursor is "filled" or "hollowed".

Also, with my current setup (X11R4 and twm), I can change the pointer
focus in three different ways.

  1) move the pointer into the window, using the mouse
  2) move the pointer over the entry in the icon manager, using the mouse.
  3) and, move the pointer through the entries in the icon manager
     using keymappings (defined in .twmrc).

The bug is essentially this: When switching the pointer focus from or
to an epoch window using method number 3, then indicator number 4 does
not change state.

Has anyone had similar problems?
