Actually it appears below all non-ff windows. The new ff appears above all other ff windows, below any native ones. This could be easily worked around with devilspie, but no devilspie (yet) in Gnome 2.10 http://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=88047 :( this is new wnck behaviour afaik and depends on what you are doing at the moment you start firefox (focus stealing prevention). This is not a bug. It may not be a coding error, yet is a bug because this behaviour is not the wanted one. Can we work around these wnck changes you mention ?

Not in my experience. I always get the described (miss-)behaviour no matter what page I am viewing.
The changes are part of a fairly big change upstream with regards to metacity's "not stealing the focus". In that respect, this isn't a bug in the software (GNOME) - it's the intended upstream behaviour, or with the packaging (Gentoo). I'm sure there has been debate over including this upstream, but I think it's unlikely to be changed now that it's in. We can't really do much with this - there's no bug to fix with respect to the current package, and I don't think we'll be writing and maintaining a patchset to introduce this enhancement ourselves. The beginning of the discussion can be seen at: http://mail.gnome.org/archives/desktop-devel-list/2004-December/msg00306.html Thanks for the pointer. The way I read it the problem is that clicking on the ff icon does not count as an interaction with ff, so it seemes to metacity that ff opens a window out of the blue. Is it possible to make the icon click be an interaction ? |
