What steps will reproduce the problem?

1. Have a Xorg.conf configured with tho screens (0.0 and 0.1)
2. Close all the windows in the first screen (say 0.0) and get the focus on
a window of the second screen (0.1)


What is the expected output? What do you see instead?

I expect to have the focus easily on the first screen (with the mouse), but
it is impossible to get the focus back on the first screen (0.0), unless i
createa window with a command like 'DISPLAY=:0.0 xterm' and then get the
focus on this new xterm.
It would be nice to get the focus to a screen when we put the mouse on an
empty desktop, or at least when we put the mouse on the dmenu bar, for example.


What version of the product are you using (wmii -v)? On what operating system?

issue still present in hg-2346. my current workaround is this:

## activate current display based on click of status bar
fn Event-RightBarClick { shift; wi_runcmd swarp -d $DISPLAY 640 515 }

this uses the swarp binary, as discussed (and source provided) on the list around a
year ago ...
