I do understand this in a lot of cases. I realize what you guys at Redhat are trying to do is very hard, and if every single joe blow wanted to put in thier 2 pennies, nothing would get done. Rob Adams has posted a request to remove the bug fix for now, and possibly have the X developers fix this. I would concur with his thinking. Please read the above bugzilla URL for more details. My whole thinking on this is that, a developer, in a big project like GNOME, shouldn't be able to fix bugs that cause known and working features to stop working. > (Having input from the community _is_ valuable though; don't take the > above paragraph out of context. *smile*) > > That being said, having sloppy focus with a click to raise a window is > something I'd like too, as long as the click is passed through.
