On 2009-07-07, at 12:34, Martin Ebourne quoted the fucking Gnome docs:
"Setting this option to false can lead to buggy behavior, so users are
strongly discouraged from changing it from the default of true. Many
actions (e.g. clicking in the client area, moving or resizing the
window) normally raise the window as a side-effect. Setting this
option
to false, which is strongly discouraged, will decouple raising from
other user actions, and ignore raise requests generated by
applications.
See http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=445447#c6. Even when
this
option is false, windows can still be raised by an alt-left-click
anywhere on the window, a normal click on the window decorations, or
by
special messages from pagers, such as activation requests from
tasklist
applets. This option is currently disabled in click-to-focus mode.
Note
that the list of ways to raise windows when raise_on_click is false
does
not include programmatic requests from applications to raise windows;
such requests will be ignored regardless of the reason for the
request.
If you are an application developer and have a user complaining that
your application does not work with this setting disabled, tell them
it
is _their_ fault for breaking their window manager and that they
need to
change this option back to true or live with the "bug" they
requested."
Crikey. I'm fucking speechless.
