Hi Manuel,

For what you are suggesting, I have done this in the past.  I have 
boolean variables that determine if certain pairs of event masks get set 
within a window.  So I would control entry, button presses, key board 
button presses, and motion (Pointer Motion or 
Pointer_Motion_Hint/Button_Motion).  I have to forcefully call my event 
handler with an expose event to get the expose to happen.  In the past 
when I did a mapping of a window it would just expose the whole window. 
 When I move that stupid cmd window and other windows to expose my 
application (which is running behind everything else) nothing gets 
redrawn as the Expose event should be happening.  When I unmap the same 
app window and remap it.  I get weird colors and still no expose events.

In the past when entry was enabled I would run the mouse over a window 
and my event handler would draw a box around the window to show focus. 
 Now I have to click on the window and I would see a sporadic reference 
to enter or leave notify.  

I am running the app while I am writing this email and I noticed a new 
weird occurence.  I see my focusing logic is work on the odd colored 
application and all I get is Motion_Notify Events!  This was after I 
enabled all event masks.  Still no proper expose event.  Not even my 
forced one.

I am very unhappy with the weirdness of my application!
