User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.0.0) Gecko/20020623 Debian/1.0.0-0.woody.1 Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.0.0) Gecko/20020623 Debian/1.0.0-0.woody.1 I've got an embedded application and I want to run mozilla full screen without running a window manager. I've written an XUL application which displays the browser (using <browser .../>, which does no more than display a browser window and nothing else (no toolbars, navigation etc). This works well when run from within a window manager--I can type into a form and all is good. If I run it from X, without a window manager it doesn't receive any keyboard input; I can cut and paste into the form. If I run mozilla normally (ie not an xul application) it does not work either. I've run other applications (xterm, gedit) in the same manner and they work correctly. I have tried to xmodmap <map file> but that makes no difference. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. make sure xdm/gdm/kdm is not running and you are at a linux console. 2. if ~/.xinitrc exists rename it. Do not comment out everything as X will start and then exit immediately. 3. run xinit 4. you will be presented with an xterm in the top right corner, run mozilla pointing to say http://www.google.com (ie a form) 5. You will find that you cannot type anything into the form, though cut and paste works. Actual Results: Nothing can be typed into an html form. Expected Results: Print the characters typed!

Duplicate of "twm or no wm: Cannot type into dialog text fields". That bug has a discussion of the focus events we are (and are not) getting; I get the impression that help in fixing this would be appreciated. *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of 78928 ***
