I just made a little test: opened an xterm on each of my 4 Spaces
desktops. Then when I go to Desktop 2, 3 or 4 and click in the xterm
found there in order to try to get focus, instead of getting focus
it switches me back to desktop 1. Every time. Seems pretty unusable
to me.
I've found that if you don't move your mouse between switching spaces
and clicking on another XTerm, this can happen. Otherwise it works
fine. Generally in practical use I tend to move my mouse around when
working, so this only happens when I'm trying "test cases" of what
works and what doesn't work.
Note that I also have "focus follows mouse" for X11 turned on which
generally requires that you move the mouse to focus the window, rather
than click on it, which basically alleviates the switching issue.
(Note that with Spaces this is required even if your mouse pointer
ends up over a window when you switch screens, because the window
won't focus until you nudge your mouse a bit!)
This is with the Tiger X11 on Leopard of course, Leopard X11 I can't
stop from switching spaces no matter what.
Its not perfect, but I can actually work on my laptop now! Of course
my main workstation will remain Tiger based until these issues are
resolved.
Cheers,
Jamie
