Tags not responding to mouse clicks

[Kinley Dorji]

Resending to make sure original thread is linked to this update:

Solved! The keyboard was fine. The superkeys weren't responding because
someone (probably my younger daughter) had pulled the game lock key.
Switching backk solved that problem. But the dzen2 bar continued to be
unresponsive to clicks. So after living with using the superkey + tag index
to switch between tags till now, I decided to relook at the problem.

I took a closer look at hlwm's autostart and panel.sh scripts. I came
across this snippet in panel.sh which looked like something to hack:

  if [ ! -z "$dzen2_svn" ] ; then
     echo -n "^ca(1,herbstclient focus_monitor $monitor && "'herbstclient
use "'${i:1}'") '"${i:1} ^ca()"
  else
    echo -n " ${i:1} "
  fi

Since I'm using dzen2-git, I thought I'd try changing the else section from:
  echo -n " ${i:1} "
to:
  echo -n "^ca(1,herbstclient focus_monitor $monitor && "'herbstclient use
"'${i:1}'") '"${i:1} ^ca()"

And it worked.

I have no idea why the original panel.sh version worked before my Logitech
keyboard hacks and why it didn't work later as I didn't touch panel.sh nor
do I think the keyboard hacks would have. Still, happy to be back to status
quo. :)
