Hmm, I see what you mean. Are you using metacity or another window manager that supports "sloppy focus" mode. Metacity with sloppy mode seems to be ok and still lets you focus by moving the mouse. I use Sawfish. I have switched from enter-exit focus to enter-only, and it works as expected, thanks! However, it would be nice if the toolbar could work with enter-exit focus as well. I vaguely remember I have chosen to not use enter-only focus for some reason, but I am not sure what it was. Alternatively you could set the scim toolbar always to be visible if you want to use it with the mouse. I have found why I don't want enter-only focus: I use dual-head setup, and I want the focus to be removed from the window when I move the cursor to the other head (even though there is no window focused on the other head). This way the correct head gets the keyboard shortcuts like switching workspaces, etc. With enter-only, the shortcuts are still being sent to the previous head. When the toolbar is set to be always visible (with enter-exit focus), it is not possible to use all its functions, because as soon as the mouse/focus leaves the original window, some buttons on the toolbar disappear (namely the "input mode" and "conversion mode" buttons). Ok, thanks, fair points. What feature(s) do you need most from the toolbar btw? I think this should be sawfish's problem but not scim.
I tried metacity's sloppy mode, it won't change the focus when you move the
mouse to the scim toolbar, as the toolbar is a popup window. But as you figure
out, sawfish will move the focus even when the scim toolbar is a popup window,
so this should be sawfish's problem. Sawfish is too old, it may don't follow the
newest gtk popup window rule.
I have check the code of creating input window and toolbar window in
scim/extras/panel/scim_panel_gtk.cpp
_input_window = gtk_window_new (GTK_WINDOW_POPUP);
gtk_widget_modify_bg (_input_window, GTK_STATE_NORMAL, &_normal_bg);
gtk_window_set_policy (GTK_WINDOW (_input_window), TRUE, TRUE, FALSE);
gtk_window_set_resizable (GTK_WINDOW (_input_window), FALSE);
gtk_widget_add_events (_input_window,GDK_BUTTON_PRESS_MASK);
gtk_widget_add_events (_input_window,GDK_BUTTON_RELEASE_MASK);
gtk_widget_add_events (_input_window,GDK_POINTER_MOTION_MASK);
_toolbar_window = gtk_window_new (GTK_WINDOW_POPUP);
gtk_window_set_policy (GTK_WINDOW (_toolbar_window), TRUE, TRUE, FALSE);
gtk_window_set_resizable (GTK_WINDOW (_toolbar_window), FALSE);
gtk_widget_add_events (_toolbar_window,GDK_BUTTON_PRESS_MASK);
gtk_widget_add_events (_toolbar_window,GDK_BUTTON_RELEASE_MASK);
gtk_widget_add_events (_toolbar_window,GDK_POINTER_MOTION_MASK);
So you will find the codes to create input window and toolbar window are the
same, both are popup window. But it is strange sawfish deal with input window as
popup window but not the same on toolbar window. So this should be sawfish's
bug. I have reported it, see http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=402386

Description of problem: When the window manager is set to the "follow-mouse" focus (as opposed to "click to focus"), the scim toolbar is unusable, because moving mouse over the toolbar causes the loss of focus of the previous window, which then makes the scim toolbar disappear. It is even more interesting when the toolbar is actually above the window, it then appears and disappears in a loop. It is interesting that for example scim-anthy's popup window with a list of possible completions does not have this property, and does not cause a loss of focus of the window in question.
