Hope this helps.

of course it did: this is what I have been doing all the time

so I am trying to avoid this.
When I did it last time with LyX, I did not know about that
defaults command.
Unfortunately, I removed the old binary, would be interesting to
see if it would work now.

It's sometimes good to state the "obvious" as sometimes it has
not occurred to people. :-)

Hi Rich ,
yes, this is the only obvious solution.

I suggest you compile the X11 version of Lyx and run that
under X11. Then you will get the desired behavior.
There is no "focus follows mouse" for non-X11 apps.

Exactly! Still does not work:
if the command:
defaults write com.apple.x11 wm_ffm -bool true
is given and x11 retarted, then:
1. it IS possible to "focus" on another xterm window with the
mouse
2. in all cases of true X11 applications I tried (xemacs
installed from the source, xmakemol, xcalc)
it DOES work as well!
3. it is NOT possible to do that for LyX I installed: they
say it is a "native MAC" application which I
read that it is a proper AQUA application
4. this does NOT work between X11 and other AQUA applications
such as Aquamacs for instance.
This makes me think that:
1. mouse focusing does actually work between native x11
applications after the defaults command is run;
it DOES work!
2. it does NOT work between aqua applications or between aqua
and x11 applications
Then, the question is this now: how to change the mouse focus
behaviour for aqua applications?
Any ideas?
Lev
For me it doesn't work correctly either. I just verified
that the boolean is set
to true. Focus follows mouse between xterms but not between
emacs running under
X11 (started at the command line) and an xterm nor does an
x11 app get the focus
when I enter it with the mouse if a non-x11 app had the
focus before.
Anyone know how to make focus under mouse actually work?
I'd really like to
give up my Linux box but so far can't with this mis-behavior
on OSX.

Hi there,
I use LyX a lot and there is one problem when it is run
under MAC OS X:
when various maths panels are opened, one has to actually
click on the
main LyX
window to return back to it. It is extremely inconvenient!
In Linux
(e.g. under KDE)
this problem is nicely handled by enabling "focus under
mouse" behavour.
I tried the command
defaults write com.apple.x11 wm_ffm -bool true
typed in xterm, as suggested in the quartz-wm man page, it
allows
focusing
between several xterms. HOwever, LyX windows are still
completely
ignorant to this!
I wonder if anybody knows the answer to this?
If the option is correct, it should take effect as soon
as you
RESTART the X-window environment
