[3ddesktop-dev] Keyboard Input


I installed 3ddesk on my work pc the other day, and things went so well,
that I decided to slap it on at home as well. On my work PC, everything
works just fine, but on my home PC when I hit my keybinding that runs
3ddesk, it activates, but something happens with the keyboard focus when
zooming out, and it ends up not focusing on 3ddesk, but on some other
application on the screen. I find myself able to change to the next song
in xmms, but not able to select the desktop I'd like to look at. Mouse 
focus is unaffected though, so I can use the mouse to select my desktop,
and all is well until the next time.

This only happens about 1/2 -> 1/3 of the time depending on it's mood
(or maybe mine ;). On my machine at work, I had this happen once or 
twice when I first set it up, but haven't seen that in a while. It seems
to be more likely to freak out the faster I'm hitting the keys to rotate
the desktops.

The biggest differences between the two machines are:
Work's keyboard is USB
Home's keyboard is PS2

Work's CPU is an Athlon 950
Home's CPU is a 1500+

Home has DDR ram.


Maybe some kind of race condition, and home hit's it more often
because it's got a faster chip? Or something with USB vs PS2?

The window manager's etc are all the same. Both machines are
Enlightenment + gnome.

Oh yeah, and now that I'm done complaining, I'd like to say that this
program kicks ass!! :).. Many a windows user were previously impressed
by the eye candy of sliding to a new desktop in Enlightenment,
especially considering that they don't even get multiple desktops. Now
with this, the jealousy is just plain sickening ;).

If you're looking for suggestions for feature enhancements, I'd have to
say that being able to make an array that included all your workspaces
rotating around, and your grid areas if you arrow up and down... I have
5 workspaces, with 2 "grid areas" in each. I know that could be kinda
strange if you had grid areas going both directions as well, but it
would be cool to be able to select any screen from that interface.
