I'm afraid there *is* a bug that pops up when Epoch is used with tvtwm
(I use a SUN sparcstation ELC).  I noticed that the cursor decides
randomly whether or not to notice a change of keyboard focus caused by
a keypress.  (The <End> key throws a window to the background in my
instalation.  I have several virtual screens where the mode-line of an
Epoch screen overlaps with the title-bar of an Xterm.  I position the
mouse pointer in the overlapping area and switch focus using the <End>
key.  I noticed that Xterm always shows the right cursor.)

Furthermore Epoch sometimes fails to notice that I switched virtual
screens.  In those cases I don't see a cursor at all, and keyboard
input goes to the previous Epoch screen.  Both anomalies can be
corrected with a click, but the random factor is quite annoying.
