Subject: [gentoo-user] ebuild to fix bug in XFCE window manager xfwm4 4.6.1
Date: Mon, 27 Jul 2009 00:55:46 +0000 (UTC) [thread overview]
Message-ID: <h4ituh$4ln$1@ger.gmane.org> (raw)
xfwm 4.6 introduced a rather nasty "feature" for users of
certain window manager configurations: new windows are created
at the bottom of the "stack" (underneath existing windows).
This is pretty annoying for several reasons:
* Everytime you start a new app, you have to go digging
through the windows to find it.
* Pop-up dialogs are hidden, so when an error occurs, many
applications appear to "freeze", then you have to go
digging to see if there are any buried error dialogs.
Previous versions of xfwm4 created new windows on the top of
the "stack".
Here's an ebuild (in the form of an overlay tarball containing
a single package) with a patch that reverts xfwm4 4.6.1 to the
previous behavior of placing new windows on the top of the
stack.

I'm told there is an upstream fix in the works that will
address at least partially address this issue.
