Description cverhoef 2011-11-27 08:45:02 UTC 
Description of problem:
When setting up a multi display setup with Xephyr, only the screen where the mouse is coming in and has focus will repaint. So a multi screen application for example a traffic control program can't be used in this setup, because only one display is "active".

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
xorg-x11-server-Xephyr-1.11.2-3.fc16.x86_64
xorg-x11-server-common-1.11.2-3.fc16.x86_64

How reproducible:
Start a multi display Xephyr and put a xclock in each display. You can easily see that the second hand only moves on the display which has focus. 


Steps to Reproduce:
1.Xephyr -ac -br -noreset -screen 800x600 :1 -screen 800x600 :2&
2.DISPLAY=:1.0 xclock -update 1&
3.DISPLAY=:1.1 xclock -update 1&
  
Actual results:
The second hand only moves on the display which has focus.

Expected results:
The second hand should move on both displays even if no focus.

Additional info:
None
