GNOME version: Unversioned Enhancement



Description Olof Mogren 2005-05-03 09:35:51 UTC
Distribution/Version: Gentoo

Click on a window in the default "focus follows mouse" setting. The window gets
raised, and if you for example would like to drag something onto another window,
it is impossible. Ubuntu has patched this, and thus adds an option in gconf
where you can choose not to raise a window when clicked. Instead, you have to
ALT-click the window to raise it. I personally patch my metacity with the
following patch to add this option, but i really think this is an enhancement to
Gnome, and thus, it should be in the main distribution. It doesn't even clutter
the configuration, as there is (so far) no interface except gconf that can
change the setting. It is just perfect for those of us who knows we can't live
without it.

The Ubuntu patch for metacity 2.10.0:
