Description Elijah Newren 2004-10-08 00:03:00 UTC 
_NET_WM_TAKE_ACTIVITY support has been added to the EWMH spec at freedesktop.org
(well, it's not committed but it's been proposed by Lubos and has been generally
accepted).  bug 152952 covers metacity support and bug 154260 covers gtk+
support, but other widgets, such as vte, need to support it as well by calling
gdk_window_cancel_activate appropriately.  I will attach a patch in a minute
that does so.

Support _NET_WM_MOUSE_ACTION (instead of _NET_WM_TAKE_ACTIVITY)

See bug 154260 for the advantages I perceive to MOUSE_ACTION over
TAKE_ACTIVITY.	Of course, it's not yet part of the spec, but this patch is
here for those that want to try it out.

Another one in need of review.
Comment 5 Elijah Newren 2004-10-18 14:12:47 UTC 
Not unless the gtk+ patch is accepted first, otherwise this patch won't apply
and is useless.
Comment 6 Behdad Esfahbod 2008-11-29 08:58:35 UTC 
Did the gtk+ patch go through?
Comment 7 Elijah Newren 2008-12-08 03:49:35 UTC 
No, I never had time to clean it up.

Honestly, it probably doesn't make sense to keep this bug open for ever.  We can reopen when/if anyone fixes up the gtk+ side.
