EnterNotify/SetInputFocus serialization problem


I'm suffering from a bug in which when I move the mouse across one
window and into another under vtwm/twm, the focus goes to the final
window but then back to the intermediate window.  I can reproduce it
as follows: Create a remote firefox window with two local xterm
windows partly covering it.  Run twm or vtwm locally as window
manager.  Don't set NoTitleFocus.  Move mouse quickly from first xterm
across firefox and into second xterm.  First the second xterm gets
focus as it should, but then the focus goes back to firefox.

I've tried to track this down with xmsgtrace.  It appears that
cygwin/X is generating EnterNotify events for both the firefox window
and the xterm window with the same timestamp.  This seems wrong,
because the windows have no way to tell which was entered last.

Here are the relevant parts of the protocol trace.  The whole trace up
through the problem is attached.  This is in Xorg 6.8.99.901-1.
