Sorry, accidentally clicked send. Any way, I see
Window Selection
select windows when the mouse moves over them
raise selected windows after an interval
Titlebar Action
double-click title bar to perform this action:
Movement Key
To move a window, press and hold this key then grab the window:
None of those has to do with whether a window comes to the foreground when
it has focus.
Here's some more info: Firefox actually works properly. When I alt-tab to
it, or click on it in the window list in the taskbar, it gets focus and
comes to the foreground as I would expect. So far nothing else (Thunderbird,
Wesnoth, Gnome file windows, for example) works right. For everything else,
they get focus (ie I can see the foreground window lose focus) but stay in
the background, either alt-tabbing or clicking on the window list.
Thanks,
Matt
