[opensuse-gnome] Windows stealing focus
New windows aren't always getting the focus in my Gnome 2.30 desktop, openSUSE 11.3. They open in front of the other windows, but on a click another window moves to the front and is the active window. It's mainly Firefox stealing the focus, but it happens from time to time with other apps as well. I was having problems switching between gedit and the gconf editor this morning. Has anyone heard of this happening? Suggestions would be appreciated.

Is this list alive? I got a spam reply from some robert.ljunggren87@gmail.com. Jon -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-gnome+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-gnome+help@opensuse.org

You have enabled "Always on Top" for Firefox ? (press alt+space and you can find the menu) You have compiz (Desktop effects) enabled ? If so, disable it and see if the problem is still reproducible. There could be some buggy plugin. In gnome-window-properties, you have enabled the option to "Raise a selected window after n seconds and select window on mouse over " ?

If spammers are listening probably it is a symptom of an active list ;-) Yes, the list is very much alive Sankar -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-gnome+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-gnome+help@opensuse.org

I have none of these enabled. I tried to enable de at one point, but my GEForce 8400 GPU was not supported for some reason.

I wondered when that was the only activity I saw after several hours. Good to see it's very active indeed. Jon -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-gnome+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-gnome+help@opensuse.org
