I don't know Sam. Are you sure none of your num-lock or scroll-lock keys
are pressed?
For me, I can move my cursor over the root window or any other window and
my key bindings for switching pages return (I use focuss follows mouse),
so it's really a question of the application getting in the way.
Dominik, one thing I have noticed is that it does not occur like this all
of the time. Sometimes my key bindings work, while other times they
don't. It seems to be related to where the program is in handling
switching modes, or saving... basically whether it is accepting input.
Unfortunately, it seems a bit tricky to make it occur on will.
Silly question... Could it be the focus policy? Sometimes it seems as if
no window has focus. Can this occur, and will fvwm cope properly?
Thanks,
Tom
