For example, I never want work area clicks to change window stacking level, but to always grab focus. The window frame clicks must never change focus and the behaviour of all three buttons perform the same move/resize actions with the variation that the left button always rises the window, the middle one leaves it at its current level, and the right button lowers it. Once you get used to this sort of behaviour it dramatically improves your productivity. I've so far been unable to do this with either KDE or Gnome. -- Will J Godfrey http://www.musically.me.uk _______________________________________________ 64studio-users mailing list [email protected] http://lists.64studio.com/mailman/listinfo/64studio-users
