Linux – get focus only by clicking the title bar of xterm

citrixredhat-enterprise-linuxwindow focusxterm

I've suffered this problem many times and so do my colleagues

Sometimes after you stroked some keyboard and mouse combinations this behavior showed up : you have to click a xterm's title bar to focus on that term so that you can input, instead of any place in that window.

Whatever you do, minimize, resize don't help. This only thing you can do is logout of that session but all the working history will be gone(of course I can save that but it's awkward)

I'm eagerly wondering is there any solutions to this? I use ctrix XenApp plugin 11.0. The other platform info:

Linux 2.6.9-67.ELsmp x86_64

OS: RedHat Enterprise Linux 4.0 U6

xterm:X.Org 6.8.2(192)

Thanks!

Try turning on FocusFollowsMouse.

If you have this on already, look for a keystroke that turns it off and see if that's not the one you're talking about accidentally hitting.
