The laptop's running WindowMaker 0.95.7 on Arch Linux using the lts kernel (4.1.15) right now. I also seem to recall seeing this on another laptop with the same model mouse running WindowMaker 0.95.6 using NetBSD 6.1.2 in the past. I'll try to boot into NetBSD on this machine to see if the problem is still there using WindowMaker 0.95.7 without Linux's device detection. -- Dan Plassche -- To unsubscribe, send mail to [email protected].

Right clicking over the miniwindow brings up the applications menu. Moving the mouse off the menu to the miniwindow icon, releasing the right mouse button, and then left clicking still does not raise the window. A middle mouse click on top of the miniwindow does raise restore or raise the application. Normally the middle click anywhere else brings up the window list menu using the usb wireless mouse.

> Strange, it works for me.
So you do not need to click to select the miniwindow and then click
again to raise the window (double-click quickly)? I remember having
single-click working on the WindowMaker about a year ago.
I'd like to help figure out the problem. Here are further details:
- Other settings changes, such as window animation (zoom, rotate,
etc.), take effect immediately from WPrefs.
- I am running WPrefs from the Configure Window Maker menu entry
that's set to "/usr/lib/GNUstep/Applications/WPrefs.app/WPrefs"
- I am using a custom directory for the settings with
GNUSTEP_USER_ROOT=""${HOME}/gnustep" in my ".bashrc". I see the
variable exported properly when running "set". I'm confident that
setup is working because settings changes take effect immediately and
persist across sessions. Moreover, I also tried symlinking ~/GNUSTEP
to ~/gnustep in case there was a path problem, but all my settings
remained in effect and took effect permanently when changed, yet
single click still did not work.
- I confirmed that ~/gnustep/Defaults/WindowMaker contains
"SingleClickLaunch = YES;".
Any further suggestions for testing?
Thanks,
Dan

I'm trying to raise miniwindows of applications that are already running with a single click. The single click is not restoring the windows even with "Single Click Activation" checked.
