Hi
With steam and mesa, i started to play again in linux and notice
that several games do not correctly grab the mouse to the game window.
This mixed with "mouse focus" make some games impossible to play,
so i have to turn off the "mouse focus" and choose "click to focus". Sadly
this is right now a manual operation, so i have to be constantly enabling
and disabling this.
The feature request is to save that some apps will be always
"click to focus", so games with this problem can be set with the proper
focus model. This is needed because very few people use focus follow
mouse and linux is already a minority, so requesting that games fix their
mouse grab support is useless, they will report that we are using
unsupported window manager and this problem probably will never be fixed.
Thanks for the help

Naturally the common people don't want war... but after all it is the
leaders of a country who determine the policy, and it is always a
simple matter to drag the people along, whether it is a democracy, or
a fascist dictatorship, or a parliament, or a communist dictatorship.
Voice or no voice, the people can always be brought to the bidding of
the leaders. That is easy. All you have to do is tell them they are
being attacked, and denounce the pacifists for lack of patriotism and
exposing the country to danger. It works the same in every country.
