[SDL] Re: Active Events on Windows XP

[James Turk]

After recieving no reply I figure I had better simplify the situation...

Basically if another window gains focus, any application with the code 
below will never recieve it's active event.  Could someone test this on 
another system?  Is my event handling completely wrong?
