That is kind of what I thought, but what I am getting stumps me.

The video shows xterm in blue, ps shows it as:
"2875 ?        S      0:01 xterm -bg darkblue -fg white -fa Monospace
-fs 12"

At the same time as my code, ps shows it as:
"4342 ?        S     79:12
/disks/projects/jcamsys/jcamsys_viewers/xforms/jcamsys_xviewer_tabbed/j
camsys_xviewer_tabbed_v0.15/jcamsysxviewert"

Xterm I need to click to raise, but "jcamsysviewert" raises if I pass
the mouse over it, both are using xlib I thought ?

If I add a third window which is a little app in wrote using Xlib then
"xterm" I need click to bring the window up, the little app I need to
click again, yet the xforms app still comes up the moment the mouse
enters the window ?  

The desktop is Linux Mint XFCE, I've checked the window manager
settings, nothing jumps out at me.
Whatever is going on here seems to be specific to the xforms app or
something I am doing in the code, but I can't track it down.....


Thanks,
Jon
