The other day, I saw an icon in the taskbar show up for an app on another desktop. When I clicked on the taskbar, it switched to the other desktop and selected the window asking for attention. I think this is new behavior since I hadn't noticed the cross-desktop behavior before. Since the desktop support the behavior, then the place this needs to be changed is in Firefox. Firefox would need to demand attention (flash the taskbar) when a new tab is opened from an external link. I did a quick search of bugzilla.mozilla.org and didn't find anything. - Ian -- fedora-devel-list mailing list fedora-devel-list@xxxxxxxxxx https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-devel-list
