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&#39;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?<br><br>
The bug is <a href="http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=445835">http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=445835</a> -- 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).
<br><br>(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.)<br><br>peace<br><br>Thomas<br>
