Description Tobias Klausmann (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2008-04-03 09:38:50 UTC 
From the Changelog of openbox-3.4.7:

* Change _NET_ACTIVE_WINDOW messages to not change the current desktop, but to
bring the window to the current desktop instead. This is the industry standard
policy

This results in netwmpager not working correctly with newer openbox releases (details in the the bug linked).

I'll attach a simple patch that fixes the behaviour. I've sent it to the netwmpager upstream but no response so far.

Should be fixed in -r1. :)

Thanks for the patch.
