C++ testcase

I suspect this has something to do with focus handling in the X11 backend. I haven't grasped the whole "pending focus" situation, so I've not attempted to hack up a patch. Mouse events have the correct windowID, but they're registered *with* the window the system events were sent to in the first place.

Oh, and I should probably mention that windows never have ID 0, from what I've seen (IDs start at 2 for some reason). Side annoyance: ID!? I'd much rather have the window pointer from events. Indirection is no fun.
Comment 2 Coranna Howard 2014-07-30 04:52:40 UTC 
Well, apparently my CMake configuration had disabled the timer sub-system, which in turn caused the pending focus to never trigger. Go figure.
