Openbox and window focusing

[vEX] · 2007-10-14 14:17:46

I'm having some problem with Openbox not focusing the windows as it should, if someone post a link on IRC and I click it in XChat then Firefox will load the url and will be moved to front just like it should. However the focus isn't shifted from XChat to Firefox, so any keyboard input will still be sent to XChat which is quite annoying if I want to close the tab (CTRL+W) as it will close the currently active tab in XChat instead of Firefox. Anyone have any idea what the problem could be?

In ObConf I have the option "Focus new windows when they appear" checked, however, my Firefox is always running so it's not a new window and thus this one should be irreleveant.

Versions (in case it should matter):

$ pacman -Q firefox xchat openbox
firefox 2.0.0.7-1
xchat 2.8.4-1
openbox 3.4.4-1

Arch Linux
