I've noticed that if a window disappears, or appears, but the mouse
never crosses the border then the focus might not be quite what you
expect. However, except on occasion, the color of the window border
clues you in. Moving the mouse across the window border changes the
focus properly. It seems pretty deterministic to me, although I know
I didn't describe the conditions very well. I don't know why, but
occasionally the border color doesn't change to correspond with the
focus. Fortunately the xterm cursor gives the hint as well. Now that
I think about it, it seems to only occur on the laptop, but my desktop
has been running sawfish for 11 days now without any such problem (I
just lock the screen and turn the monitor off). When I do have any
subtle problems like that I simply restart sawfish. I have noticed
that the new sawfish has a few more noticeable bugs than the old one,
but it still works fairly well anyways.
