I've come across the following strange behaviour using epoch 4.2 with TWM --- if I set TWM not to display titlebars on epoch windows, then after a few minutes of operation, epoch no longer receives focus messages --- thus moving the mouse from one epoch screen to another no longer switches the cursor from screen to screen. I wrote a short event handler that just recorded focus events in a variable : when this behaviour started, the handler no longer received any events. Has anyone else come across this? Does anyone know how to fix it (getting a decent window manager is probably the best solution...) Ralph.
