Description paussems 2002-06-06 15:28:05 UTC 
Package: metacity
Severity: normal
Version: 2.3.610
Synopsis: New windows are not focused
Bugzilla-Product: metacity
Bugzilla-Component: general

Description:
Description of Problem:
The new windows do not get the focus

Steps to reproduce the problem:
1. Gnome menu -> run program...

Actual Results:
The dialog appears but doesn't have the focuse

Expected Results:
Dialog should be focused

How often does this happen?
Always

Additional Information:
Was running 2.3.377, and this problem wasn't there... If it's a
'feature', then please make it configurable trough gconf keys, because
having windows not focused when they are displayed just makes keyboard
shortcuts unusefull...

Confirming. Another example: Tried to invoke an application from the 
command prompt, the app opened up, but never gained focus. (RH 7.1 
running gnome 2.0 from 7th June CVS snapshot)
Comment 2 Greg Schafer 2002-06-09 11:37:46 UTC 
Fresh tarball build of Gnome2 as of 9 June 2002.

I'm getting this too. Version is metacity-2.3.610. Seems to happen
mainly with certain types of windows ie: control panel applets, panel
applet dialogs. Opening normal programs like gcalc, gconf-editor seem
to be unaffected.

it...
