The more I work with Gnome, the more annoyed with it I become. In KDE, there is a config setting where you can tell it to prevent applications from stealing focus. Is there anything at all in Gnome that is similar? I start up applications in Gnome, and continue working on/in another application (eg a document or an email)... when the app I started finally surfaces, it steals the focus and I end up typing a whack of stuff into the new application. I guess I am too impatient. In KDE I can set it to start apps in the background and it works perfectly. I have yet to find such a setting in this Gnome thing. Any suggestions? Or this yet another feature that was removed from Gnome? C. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org
