There you'll be able to change the focus stealing prevention level (read the WhatsThis help if the options are unclear for you) or disable it completely. There's also a way to disable it only for specific applications (The GIMP, in your case), but I don't think there's a GUI for it, nor can I remember which key in which file you would have to alter. -- Henrique Pinto henrique.pinto@xxxxxxxxxxx ___________________________________________________ .
