OK. FWIW, the window manager in use was TWM, the one that comes standard with X. Seems like we ought to support that one. It's the fallback window manager when nothing else is installed, and it's the only window manager available in Cygwin (unless I missed the other ones :-)
The focus behavior of most window managers can be configured to be either 'focus follow mous' or 'click to focus' (I believe these are how the options are called). Probably twm can be configured too.
So I believe this problem only happens in relative corner cases: some window managers and only when they are configured for focus follows mouse. And I would not worry much about TWM as nobody in their right mind would you it. People use modern window managers nowadays... like fvwm95 ;-)
