Its defnitely not working like you describe it should. metacity is unconditionally prefering to keep the focus on the terminal, for whatever application i start from the terminal even if all i do is hit enter..whether the mouse is over the terminal or not...whether or not i touch anything at all before the program opens My favorite side-effect of focus stealing protection is starting mplayer in fullscreen mode from the terminal and having the focus stealing protection not only have mplayer's full screen window show up under the gnome-terminal.. but "under" the gnome-panel as a well. It's quite amusing. -jef -- fedora-test-list mailing list fedora-test-list@xxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe: https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-test-list
