+ | sudo /sbin/qobi-wmhint-fix $PARWIN | ||
+ | #/usr/bin/set-focus $PARWIN | ||
+ | |||
+ | This resolves all issues with keyboard focus loss in LXDE for good. The new easy-deb-chroot version achieves the same through Maemo-side scripts, so this fix makes sure that one can also use the older method for starting LXDE. | ||
Some, but very few, applications have problems with keyboard focus when run under debbie (while running without problem in LXDE). This is solved by qole's new script [http://talk.maemo.org/showpost.php?p=818545&postcount=1769 /home/user/.kbdactive] in the new version of easy-deb-chroot (invoked by Fn+Return when "Set Deb HW Keys" is activated; if not, you have to update your /home/user/.xbindkeysrc file by merging in the new key binding from /home/user/.xbindkeysrc.dist). | Some, but very few, applications have problems with keyboard focus when run under debbie (while running without problem in LXDE).
