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.
