It could be possible that it is window manager specific. I may have badly described my problem. When I click in the frame that I want to work with, it gets the window focus and I can work with is as usual. But my problem is that I cannot use the mouse wheel for scrolling of a frame *without* clicking into it first. And I cannot paste into an inactive frame (with the middle mouse button) *without* clicking it to focus first. I would not complain about it if this would be normal for all applications. But (at least with icewm) it is possible to paste into every window with the middle mouse button, regardless if it has the keyboard focus or not. And (at least with icewm) it is possible to scroll every window with the mouse wheel, regardless if it has the keyboard focus or not. This does even work for emacs when *none* of its frames has the focus. Richard suggested to try emacs 22. I'll do that as soon as is appears in Debian unstable.
