Bug ID: 359683 Summary: Clients can change the VD (and activate) via _NET_ACTIVE_WINDOW messages Product: kwin Version: git master Platform: Other OS: Linux Status: UNCONFIRMED Severity: normal Priority: NOR Component: core Assignee: kwin-bugs-n...@kde.org Reporter: thomas.luebk...@gmail.com Cause is commit 60e904fb0447127a6bc0aa3309e2b98109110dec Author: Luboš Luňák <l.lu...@kde.org> Date: Thu Nov 29 15:01:30 2007 +0000 Don't refuse explicit window activation request just because the window is not on the current desktop. ---------- QDialog or at least QMessageBox does this and I doubt Lubos' idea was to "allow focus stealing if the client nags enough" - switching the VD is a major interrupt and prevented when a new window shows up. It should not be possible to stomp on ground and then receive focus - notably not on the other desktop. I assume the original idea was to let clients distribute focus *inside* across virtual desktops, maybe also permit when no client was active, but hardly otherwise.
