Cunningly hidden deep in some menu, Gnome has an option to enable focus-follows-mouse. But their implementation is truly hideous.
In a decent window mangler, for example, windows only raise when you click in certain areas of them - normally the title bar and borders. Using a menu or selecting text doesn't screw around with window z-order. But in the Gnome world it does, and this makes me want to strangle kittens. Gnome can fuck off and die. Ubuntu could fuck off and die too, if only it wasn't so painful to get multiple monitors working on a version of Linux that didn't suck so hard. -- David Cantrell | Minister for Arbitrary Justice The Law of Daves: in any gathering of technical people, the number of Daves will be greater than the number of women.
