Yes, Even with just one "empty" xterm.

OK, this is where it gets interesting. Clicking on either xterm results in a border colour change
indicating that xterm has focus. I can then type into the xterm or the linpac application when it is
running.
Clicking on the message dialog does not result in a colour change on the xterm. I have also
noticed that with normal operation, when you click on a text field in the message dialog the text
field border changes to indicate that it has focus. In this case this does not happen.
I then double clicked on the top bar of the message dialog which collapses the dialog.
I click the top bar again to restore the dialog and now the message dialog works correctly.
So possibly a problem with the windows manager.
Cheers
John
