I was wondering how long before someone suggested KDE.  :-)

The problem is I can't make KDE work with our ERP software
(running on HPUX, displayed on the Linux desktop).

The ERP X-window does not set the "WM_HINT" correctly, and
I need a windows manager than has an option to handle this.
Otherwise, the ERP window can NEVER get focus.

In Gnome (Sawfish actually), there is a setting that says:
"Give focus to windows even when they haven't ask for it".

In the xfwm (XFCE) config file, there is this:

# Xfwm now honors the WM_HINT "Input" and acts accordingly.
# If you don't want this feature, use the following parameter
# to disable it (Some applications wrongly set input hint to
# false and therefore will never get focus unless 
# "HonorWMFocusHint" is set to "No") :
HonorWMFocusHint     No

And the last time I looked at KDE, it didn't have a similar option.
Maybe that's changed with newer KDE's?  I don't know, but if you 
know of the option in KDE, please let me know _where_ to find it.
