nanogui: Thread: Problem with focus on different windows

Hi!

First let me say: I don't realy understand how things work in nano-x 
window, so my question may sound a bit strange or confusing, please try 
to find out what I mean, respectively, what my problem is ;-)

Following situation: I have a FLTK-GUI which covers the whole screen. 
Then I start the nxkbd for keyboard-input, because it is a touch-screen. 
Then i finish the input with the "enter" key and the nxkbd-process gets 
killed and dissapears from the screen. Now, if my input doesn't pass the 
format-check an error message pops up which is drawn in a new window. 
Then I press "OK" and the popup-window dissapears. If I start the nxkbd 
again to re-edit the input field (of the main-window), the nxkbd 
appears, but if I press a key, the input field doesn't get the input....

I seems like the main window lost the focus or something like that... Is 
that an issue which I have to solve in nano-x window or does this seem 
to be a FLTK thing for you? On which point do you think do I have to fix?

Linux 2.6.24
nano-X 0.91
FLTK: 1.1.9

Its hard to say exactly what's going on within the FLTK apps you're
using.  Ultimately, you may have to manually call GrSetFocus()
on the window you want to receive the keyboard input the
user is typing.  Things also run differently when you're running
the nanowm window manager.  The system remembers
the last window's focus only, so when you're creating a string
of windows, sometimes focus has to be manually managed.
