odd urxvt focus behavior

bionnaki · 2008-01-10 07:14:28

urxvt has not been focusing the past day or so. when I open it, it comes up unfocused. I havent made any changes to .Xdefaults nor is there any entry other than color-scheme. I have looked in rc.xml (openbox) and pypanelrc and I dont have anything in regards to urxvt & focusing.

no other applications have this behavior. they all focus upon opening. urxvt used to as well.

there was an update on the 8th for urxvt and one for openbox, so perhaps there's a bug..? has anyone else noticed this with ob & urxvt?

what other causes are possible? not that it's a big deal or anything - my system is running perfectly as is urxvt besides this little annoyance. im more curious than anything.

thanks.

I have this problem too. Well sometimes it opens up totally black, and then when I click on it it pops into focus with the normal trasparency settings. But sometimes it opens up just fine. I tried upgrading to the testing version, and it has the same behavior. I thought it was something I set wrong in .Xdefaults, but it use to always be just fine. Also it seems to open up kind of slow compared to other terminals. I tried googling and haven't found any thing specific yet.

yeah, thats exactly the problem I'm having. perhaps focus isnt the correct word - the screen is blank until you click on it.

...still havent found a solution. any luck?

Just confirming I notice the same thing (blank EDIT:blaCk when it first comes up) in fluxbox. It normally doesn't phase me though as I typically start typing right away. I only first noticed it when I opened a terminal and then forgot what I was going to do.

Happends under xmonad too, seams to be an urxvt problem. Transperency is not loaded on start, colors and such are loaded. If i beginn to type, everything goes back to normal. Not much of issue, just weird.

This might have something to do with window manager interaction? If I start X and Urxvt with EvilWM, transparancy isn't in effect until I move the window. If I start X and Urxvt with Twm, the transparency takes effect on its immediately on its own.

I dont use any transparency.
