Patch to add a click-to-raise option. (7.04 KB, patch)

Description Federico Mena Quintero 2003-06-22 23:40:35 UTC 
Metacity currently raises windows when you press a mouse button on them. 
For die-hard Unix users this may be annoying.  Metacity should have a
hidden GConf option to specify whether you want this behavior.

The attached patch adds a metacity/general/click-to-raise option, defaulted
to true, to control this behavior.  When you set it to false, you can still
raise windows by clicking on their title bar or on the window frame.

Works great for me, thanks a lot! The key shows up in gconf & does
what it's supposed to do...

I'm using debian sid (2.4.55-2).

Hope this gets integrated soon, would save a bit of work. If hidden in
gconf it's unlikely to distract newbies.

this patch won't work for CVS head.  Updating keywords

Short answer, I'm taking a patch that avoids raise in specific cases
such as DND. There are about three novels of discussion on other bugs
if you want the details.
