The problem is extremely annoying. I recommend to add the following patch to the port (see http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=149028 for a detailed discussion of the issue). >How-To-Repeat: >Fix: --- src/window.c 31 Jul 2004 21:26:05 -0000 1.333 +++ src/window.c 4 Aug 2004 15:55:42 -0000 @@ -1619,6 +1619,11 @@ window_takes_focus_on_map (MetaWindow *w case META_WINDOW_NORMAL: case META_WINDOW_DIALOG: case META_WINDOW_MODAL_DIALOG: + /* Don't do focus stealing stuff; lame cop-out while we work on + * fixing http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=149028 + */ + return TRUE; + if (window->focus_despite_user_time) return TRUE; >Release-Note: >Audit-Trail: >Unformatted:
