FVWM: Does desktops share focus?

[Oleksandr Gavenko]

I have configuration:

DesktopSize 3x3
DesktopName 0 Main
DesktopName 1 Net

Style "*" SloppyFocus

Module FvwmPager 0 1


When I start 'xterm' in one desktop and switch to another page on same desktop
by FvwmPager and type some sequence and back to xterm I see what I type, so
Fvwm keep focus on 'xterm' ever I on another page of same desktop.

But if I switch to another desktop by FvwmPager and type some sequence and
back by FvwmPager to xterm I see it still have focus but 'xterm' doesn't show
what I type.

Next I do: I start 'xterm' on one desktop, take him focus, start 'xterm' on
one desktop, take him focus, and switch by FvwmPager between desktops. Each
time I switch 'xterm' corresponding to desktop get focus.

I make decision that focus assigned to desktop. Is that right or may be
controlled by Fvwn configuration?

I've looked in to this a few times -- and it's a problem with how FVWM
handles enternotify events for coercion when the pointer doesn't move but is
expected to give the focus to the underlying window.

I was unable to track it down.
