[opensuse-kde] Alt-Tab annoyance
I still have a major annoyance with the Alt-Tab feature. I have a dual monitor setup with two desktops. I have the Alt-Tab option to include all desktops, but oddly enough, it only includes windows on the *monitor* I'm on. It does show all windows on both desktops, but only the ones on the current monitor. Which is very weird, if you ask me. I've fiddled with a lot of the options, to no avail. Any idea what is wrong? I have the Xinerama ("one big display") option set in SaX, and it works perfectly, except for the Alt-Tab. -- Jonathan Arnold (mailto:jdarnold@buddydog.org) Daemon Dancing in the Dark, an Open OS weblog: http://freebsd.amazingdev.com/blog/ UNIX is user-friendly. It's just a bit picky about who its friends are. --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-kde+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-kde+help@opensuse.org

See http://ktown.kde.org/~seli/xinerama/ , the first item, set to false. -- Lubos Lunak KDE developer -------------------------------------------------------------- SUSE LINUX, s.r.o. e-mail: l.lunak@suse.cz , l.lunak@kde.org Lihovarska 1060/12 tel: +420 284 028 972 190 00 Prague 9 fax: +420 284 028 951 Czech Republic http//www.suse.cz --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-kde+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-kde+help@opensuse.org

See http://ktown.kde.org/~seli/xinerama/ , the first item, set to false.
Or like this:
- ---8<------------------------------------------
kwriteconfig --file kwinrc --group Windows \
--key SeparateScreenFocus --type bool true
dcop kwin default reconfigure
- ---8<------------------------------------------
;)
BTW, what you actually want is setting that item to "true" instead of
"false":
- - true: show windows on *all screens* in alt+tab
- - false: only show windows on *current screen* in alt+tab
At least that's the behaviour here on my box, KDE 3.5.6
(kdelibs3-3.5.6-41.4)
cheers

Spectacular Spectacular! Finally, it works like it is supposed to. Sorry, but I can't imagine a scenario where Alt-Tab should only show windows from the current screen. I can't believe that is the default now. Anyway, much better, thanks.
