Is the problem that the clients aren't taking focus or have focus

My problem wasn't about focus. I know the window had input focus (my
settings change the border color for focused windows), but the keyboard
events weren't accepted by certain clients.

My work system runs separate X servers on two heads (rather than
ximerama) and I have problems with windows occasionally refusing to
accept focus after I move the pointer from screen to screen (though I
can get an alternative window to accept focus and then switch back to
the window I originally wanted). This started after an X.org upgrade
but I'm not sure which one.

I've seen that problem also, with and without xinerama enabled (always
with dual-head nvidia cards). My keyboard input problem only affected
certain clients. Like I said, one rxvt would accept keyboard events and
another rxvt right next to it wouldn't. It was an X.org server, I forget
the version. I've not noticed the problem recently, but I could try to
reproduce the problem if necessary.
