But you need to be able to distinguish between dwm's _selected_ (for
tagging, closing etc.) client and X's _focused_ client. Killing your
terminal window on accident could be awful.

Agreed.

What I would propose is the attached series of patches for hg import:
The first renames focus() to selclient() and focusstack() to selstack().
The second adds a new focus() function calling XSetInputFocus() and
saving the client in a global foc (analogue to sel) variable; it then
implements isfocusable based on the Gottox port + selfgcolor border
for focused, but unselected windows.

By the way, your last commits have "a_AT_null" as the author?

Regards,
Peter
