Description Daryl Stimm 2002-09-06 07:12:00 UTC 
is there a way to bring focas to a window that is
behind another window? with out moving it to the
front?

For example, If I have two windows open like a
terminal and lets say mozilla.

I can open the terminal above mozilla. then right
click on mozilla, this would focus on mozilla so I
can navigate while still having the terminal hovering.

this is useful when trying to see the terminal and
operate mozilla at the same time.

there is many other uses for this.

I always though this was a feature of Xfree86, but
metacity doesnt allow me to do this.

I guess the best example would be to try
WindowMaker or fluxbox.

It kinda fixed it, I just wish it would focus only if I right clicked,
but this is better than nothing.
