I'm using KDE4 and i know about the focus stealing part of systemsettings. What I don't seem to be able to do is get the right balance between the Thunderbird stanza and the Firefox stanza
Enter "about:config" in FF, select "browser.tabs.loadDivertedInBackground" and set it to "true".
Yes, that leaves the focus on Thunderbird. Good! But there is a side effect. The clicked-on URL is not the selected URL tab when I do eventually switch to Firefox. I have Firefox set so that on closing a tab it goes to the "previously selected". That means that if I were to click on a series of links in Thunderbird and the focus stayed on Thunderbird, then when I switched to Firefox I would be on the last one and could read and close them in reverse order. You see the 'work-flow"? That's why I wanted a simple no focus-stealing. In effect it would 'automate' the tab selection I have to do by hand with Hermann's otherwise excellent suggestion, one that I'm going to live with for now since the switching was what was really annoying me. -- Oh, I thought it meant "Control Self Assessment", a rigorous, highly structured and essentially pointless method for giving auditors the answers they expect to hear whilst at the same time appearing to be Doing Something Positive About Governance. -- Gary Hinson Passionate about security awareness -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org
