Description Ildar 2010-02-17 14:56:39 UTC 
In some situation when a new window appears it doesn't get focus. That's how it should be.
But when it happens or when an existing window gets alerted, actually the old focused window looses the focus for a second (or usually less).
That's bad, because if you type something, you loose several keypresses. Or even worse, if you delete something, you can delete something you shouldn't.

Is it possible to make sawfish to NOT loose the focus at all?
(I use enter-only focus mode)

Hi. I'm Teika, a Sawfish developer.

Do you think the cause is that (1) new windows appear on top of
others and (2) they are so placed that they contain the mouse pointer,
so snatches away the focus (since your focus policy is enter-only) ?

I don't know if it's possible to suppress raising requested by a
window, but it's possible to implement a new placement mode
"avoid pointer". Strictly speaking, this is not a bug, but a 
feature request, though.

Best regards.
