Re: focus stuck to one window

init 4 is not working (systemd?) I am killing X and it works, but it should not be happening in the first place!

I have had this happen once in a long while. I end up killing the
window in focus (ctrl-d) and it seems to go back to normal after that.

Is this not a possibility?

Whatever works. I don't remember, but maybe once or twice I was able to regain control of the desktop, that way. But, more often than not, kicking X was the only way out.
