I don't know if this is a feature, an openSUSE thing, or a KDE thing...

Let's say I have two applications open - Konqeuror and Amarok, for example.

If I click on an item in Konqueror, with the intent to drag it over to Amarok, then Amarok loses focus. I then am not able to drag and drop unless both windows are visible. If either are maximized then I'll lose the focus.

Is there a way to change this behavior in either openSUSE or KDE?

You can disable click-raises-window and use focus-follows-mouse (both settings in [right click window titlebar] -> configure -> focus. - However, this is probably quite different behaviour from that which you are used to (You have to click titlebar to raise window.

Alternatively you can do what I do and add a "keep above" button to the titlebar of every window. That way when you want to drag something to one window you click the "keep above" button, then drag from the other window to your foreground window. To do this [right click window titlebar] -> configure -> window decorations -> [add a "keep above others] button.

Or there's the drag via taskbar option.

Or alt-tab whilst dragging works (as long as you have two hands).

Nope - that just cycles the windows. (I currently have eight open.) I tried ctrl - which seems to move the underlying window - and ctrl tab, which just adds a tab to the mail window. -- kai www.filesite.org || www.4thedadz.com || www.perfectreign.com remember - a turn signal is a statement, not a request
