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
