I used to always have trouble typing going into the wrong window when a new application started while I was typing into another. No more sending the root password over IM. Personally, I think apps should show above but never ever take focus. I am pretty sure apps can say that their modal dialogs should show above and get focus so they don't end up hidden. This is the upstream behavior of metacity 2.10. I don't think there is a gconf key to customzie the behavior. You could use a different window manager which can be customized. I think kwin, the KDE window manager, allows focus stealing prevention to be customized. - Ian -- fedora-test-list mailing list fedora-test-list@xxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe: https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-test-list
