If I switch away from my xterm window (alt-tab), and then try to
switch back, nothing happens. I have to right-click on the title of
the window in the taskbar, which usually activates the window and
brings it to the font. It happens pretty consistently so I was
wondering if anyone knew how to fix this?

Thanks,
Craig

This has already been reported by many people.  Until it gets fixed, you 
can work around it by reverting to xorg-server-1.7.6-2.

This is a fairly well-known (but still undiagnosed?) bug in the 1.8 
server. Workaround is to roll back to the previous 1.7 series. You can 
see a discussion about it in the list archives with the subject "Slow 
response to keypresses in xorg-server-1.8.0-1"

Regards,
Ryan
