Description
If I have two windows open and I kill one program at the terminal (instead of clicking the red close button) two problems occur: 1) the other window doesn't regain focus automatically, 2) Cmd-` no longer switches between windows. If I then click the window with the mouse, it gets focus and things go back to normal.

This doesn't reproduce in 2.6.2, so it looks like my changes fixed this one.

Actually, I'm still seeing it with 2.6.3 on Snow Leapard. ImageMagick's display is the easiest way for me to reproduce it:
- In Terminal: display foo.jpg &
- In Terminal: display foo.jpg
- Now Cmd-Tab to XQuartz and the most recent display window has focus, and Cmd-` cycles between X windows.
- In Terminal: Ctrl-c to kill the last display command
- Now Cmd-Tab back to XQuartz and no window has focus, and Cmd-` doesn't cycle between windows.
The only way I know to get the focus back to an older window is with the mouse.

Interesting, thanks.
