Question about xgterm for mac   Message List  
Reply | Forward Message #210 of 212 |
Hello,

I downloaded the latest Mac version of xgterm from iraf.net and tried it on my Power Mac running OS 10.4.11.  Running it as a standalone program (no iraf involved in any way) it had the following problem:  If I bring up the Tek window, say by setting "tekshow" in the menu (which becomes available by pressing Control-Command and clicking the mouse) or by sending a sequence of bytes from one of my programs, i.e., ESC [ ? 3 8 h, the Tek window never can be given focus.  One normally can give focus to a window in X11 by clicking in the title bar or by simply moving the mouse over the window after sending:
defaults write com.apple.x11 wm_ffm true
defaults write com.apple.x11 wm_click_through -bool true
and restarting X11.

I have this experience on both my Power Mac and my Power Book.  Could some of you please try to verify this behavior, or if you have a solution please let me know how you solved the problem?  The consequence of not getting focus is that although one can write to the Tek window, one can't read from it.

Many thanks,

Donald Gudehus
