I misspoke, and left out an important detail: If the windows do *not* overlap, then there appears to be no problem. If the XTerm window is behind the XEmacs window while I'm editing, then I move the mouse pointer back into the Xterm, neither window has focus. I can move the mouse pointer back into the XEmacs window to get focus there, but I can never get focus back to the Xterm.

Anyhow, this attempted fix wasn't right, and probably only worked for some X clients by accident. I've uploaded an xorg-server-1.19.3-2 test release, with an another attempt, perhaps you could give that a try? xorg-server-1.19.3-1 has been retroactively changed to a test release. > Furthermore, the particular Windows setting I'm using for mouse > activation is in the "Ease of Access Center", under "Make the mouse > easier to use".
