ClickToFocus=0 option in preferences do not change the default behavior, while it was the case with older versions. Since there is no older ebuild for icewm downgradinf is not an option.
Hrmm are you looking for the focus behaviour where the focus follows the mouse pointer? If so this is called "Sloppy Mouse Focus" and you can set it in the menu -> settings -> sloppy mouse focus OR you can put "FocusMode=2" in your ~/.icewm/focus_mode file. If that doesn't solve it can you specify what focus behaviour you are after? I think the settings file format changed so you might have to hunt around and find the new ones to do what you want. Here's what the changelog from the icewm page says about the settings file changes # 1.2.30: 2006-12-24 * battery status cleanups * new option BatteryPollingPeriod (default 10 seconds) # 1.2.30pre1: 2006-12-17 * fix focus after minimizing all windows * moved Themes selection to Settings menu * added Settings -> Focus menu (config saved to ~/.icewm/focus_mode as FocusMode=1,2 or 0) * startMinimized window option fixed * new setting MapInactiveOnTop (default 1) * new setting RequestFocusOnAppRaise (when FocusOnAppRaise=0) So try this command and hopefully it will fix it. $ echo "FocusMode=2" >> ~/.icewm/focus_mode Regards, John
Damn, it works ! I overlook that change and i should RTFM even more. Thank you. I'm sorry to eat your time with such things. Good news: that's not a bug ! So you can close it.
thanks laurent, john :)
