I was just about to report this very issue for Ubuntu 9.10, and have to chip in that the above is patently incorrect with compiz 1:0.8.4-0ubuntu2.1.
A minimised or closed window pulls focus in order to minimise or close, and only when this is done does the window behind regain focus. The behaviour is rather weird and jarring. -- Undesirable focus while closing or minimizing https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/189329 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
