It makes so much more sense for the mplayer window, which was deliberately requested to be in fullscreen with a cmdline argument to load behind my terminal and the gnome-panels as well. It's so simple and intuitive to have to click on that fullscreen requested mplayer window, not once.. but twice (to bring it above the terminal and the gnome-panel objects) to have it in the foreground like it would when called from pretty much anything other than gnome-terminal. What I really really love.. is when the entire window for the application you just lauched is covered by the lauching terminal. Even better when that completely obscured window is a dialog with a timer action. I wonder, are any of those new fangled keyboard focus stealing password dialogs affected by the pop-under behavior? Wouldn't that be funny... a password dialog that you can't see which forcibly steals keyboard focus for security reasons.. sitting under your terminal window which forcibly causes new windows to pop-under for usability reasons.. Does that count as ironic.. or is it just tragic? -jef"of course with hardware accelerated bling with true transparency in the terminal and the panel... I guess I'd never notice if the mplayer window was behind those objects and I could watch my pr0n without having to lift a finger once it started"spaleta -- fedora-devel-list mailing list fedora-devel-list@xxxxxxxxxx https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-devel-list
