I have now switched to another window manager, where focus are 
working correct.   So never mind.  I am still learning, I wasn't
aware that there were such problems with fox <--> X11 window managers.

I tried these WM's out in top-down order, my current WM are fvwm2. 
I have gotten the following problems, while trying to make my application 
able to switch between windowed-mode and fullscreen-mode.

WM                symthom
blackbox 0.65.0   in windowed mode, DECOR_RESIZE are ignored. Resulting in 
                  a window which cannot be resized.

openbox 3.2       windowed mode, problems passing focus to dialogboxes. Resulting
                  in that the parent (in the background) keeps focus. If you
                  type on the keyboard then the machine beeps at you.

fvwm2 2.4.18      fullscreen mode, DECOR_NONE is ignored and a titlebar is visible.
                  Resulting in a fullscreen sized window, where the bottom part is
                  20 pixels outside the display-border.


What WM does fox interact best with (reference implementation) ?
