LCA: Two talks on the state of XLCA: Two talks on the state of XPosted Feb 8, 2008 23:01 UTC (Fri) by tjc (subscriber, #137)In reply to: LCA: Two talks on the state of X by superstoned Parent article: LCA: Two talks on the state of X
In this particular case it is a Firefox issue, but I guess the point I'm raising is that if the window manager can't intercept an attempt to raise a window (or grab the focus), then there will probably always be badly behaved apps that do this. Relying on apps to do the right thing seems futile.

So the Firefox window will be the topmost firefox window and you will see it on top if you're already focussed on firefox, but not if you're focussed on an xterm or something else.

I think sawfish does something like this? The Firefox problem seems to have been fixed, if only recently. I booted to a new install of Ubuntu 7.10, and Firefox 2.0.0.12 doesn't raise itself on page loads anymore. It still maps new windows over the top of the currently focused window, but it's a start anyway.
