From kwin Sat Jun 09 20:10:28 2007 From: "Thomas Thurman" Date: Sat, 09 Jun 2007 20:10:28 +0000 To: kwin Subject: _NET_ACTIVE_WINDOW sent on workplace switch Message-Id: X-MARC-Message: https://marc.info/?l=kwin&m=118141987904513 MIME-Version: 1 Content-Type: multipart/mixed; boundary="--===============0456813605==" --===============0456813605== Content-Type: multipart/alternative; boundary="----=_Part_15764_3809519.1181419828671" ------=_Part_15764_3809519.1181419828671 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=ISO-8859-1; format=flowed Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit Content-Disposition: inline Hi. I'm one of the maintainers of the GNOME window manager, and someone has raised a bug which boils down to the fact that KDE applications are sending _NET_ACTIVE_WINDOW on themselves to the root window when the user switches workplaces to the workplace on which they reside. I have confirmed that this happens with KCalc (2.0.6, KDE 3.5.6, Qt 3.3.7), and not with gnome-calculator. I'm prepared to start digging through KDE and Qt to find the problem, but before I start, is there a known reason they would be sending this message? The bug is http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=445835 -- the reason for the title is that metacity sets _NET_WM_STATE_DEMANDS_ATTENTION for at least partially obscured windows which attempt to activate themselves (and ignores the request). (Of course, this is not a kwin problem, but the people on #kde-devel said to come and ask here because you would be most likely to know.) peace Thomas ------=_Part_15764_3809519.1181419828671 Content-Type: text/html; charset=ISO-8859-1 Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit Content-Disposition: inline Hi.
