I think I might have just solved it. I'm not certain yet, so if you have any ideas, don't hold back ;-) For over a decade, I have always used Focus Follows Mouse, and it is definitely very nice, when numerous application windows are open at once. You just move the mouse over to an exposed corner of an underlying window and presto! it moves to the front. However, when a window generates a password entry window or a message window or something like that which must always stay on top until it is responded to, either by entering the password or cancelling it, then Focus Follows Mouse is not practical. Firefox, however, seems not to honour Focus Follows Mouse with respect to the password window, but multiple opened firefox windows do follow the Focus Follows Mouse setting, so firefox is able to correctly discern the difference between notification/input windows and the application windows. I have also played with the Focus Stealing Prevention setting, but I don't know if this might or might not help me get the effect I desire. So, to pose the question again: Is there some combination of these or other settings that will get the desired behaviour? _______________________________________________ kde mailing list kde@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/kde New to KDE4? - get help from http://userbase.kde.org
