On Lion (I'm now on ML) and running Xterm (since switched to Terminal.app), whenever I had an Xterm open but in the background and the screen went to sleep, whenever the screen was reawakened, the open Xterm would be foregrounded but would not have focus. If it was foreground with focus before the screen went to sleep, it would still be foregrounded on awakening, but it would no longer have focus. This is similar to the momentary loss of focus bug that has been reported so often.On 24Sep 2012, at 18:42 PM, "Cook, Rich" < email@hidden> wrote:
Hmm, that does seem related as it gives the same result for me. However, I'm sure the path I'm taking to that effect is different. For me, this just arises spontaneously by having X11 running in the background and then going to do things for a few hours and
coming back -- boom, X11 is in front, but does not have focus.
Is there a way to start X so that it logs what it's doing in a useful way for someone smarter than me to look at ?

I have seen exactly what you show, and I have seen situations where I wanted the an X11 window to be in the foreground and to have focus where the top window is an X11 window but does not have focus. I can recreate this by setting XEmacs gnuclient as my $EDITOR
and my $VISUAL and invoking it from Terminal.app. Invoking from Xterm works correctly under those circumstances.

Just wanted to revisit this issue. A few (?) of us have experienced that X11 seems to pop into the foreground in an unwanted manner. I've now discovered a small perhaps relevant detail: X11 moves its windows forward, but does not come into the foreground.
In the image below, taken on my home machine, Safari is in the foreground. For proof, see menu bar and note title bar in safari vs. X11. Safari responds to keystrokes. However, the X11 windows have moved in front of the Safari window, although they remain
backgrounded.
How is this possible?
