I've tried the link above but after clicking on "Add comment" button I
get the message:

--- [snip] ---
500 Internal error

The server encountered an unexpected condition which prevented it from
fulfilling the request.

Anyway, I continue to have problems with focus.
Honestly, I don't know if those are caused by libgxim are by other
updated packages

I've re-updated to libgxim 0.3.2-4 (this time donwloaded with yum
update) but the problem still persists, not only for xterm bu also for
FireFox, nautilus, gnome-panel.

For instance, just now, after having clicked on a HTML link on FireFox
the focus frozen, that is_
* the mouse cursor remained the one used by FireFox when you move over
an HTML link,
* even clicking on other FireFox tabs or on the gnome menu, I was not
able to do anything: each window seemed "disabled"
* for make it working I switched on another virtual desktop
(ctrl+alt+left_arrow) and then returned back to the virtual desktop
(ctrl+alt+right_arrow) where FireFox was open.

Any idea?

Thank you so much!

Cheers,
