This might actually be a good thing - we'd need to ponder this a bit of course to make sure we dont miss some other issue this might cause, but in general it does not sound like a bad behaviour to me at the first glance. You can still raise windows just by clicking. Another thing I have been pondering about lately is the "passthru" click to raise windows - some wm's used to have this as an option years ago - and I think Mac OS X does this too. What I mean is that if you click to raise a window, that click does not do anything in the program itself. This is most evident with the Gimp for example - you have several windows open, and you click to raise one of them. Oops, better not have a drawing tool selected to do that.. Then again, these two make an interesting problem together when a user has click to focus..! Argh. Ideas? Can we capture a "click" but let "user drags folder from window" go through?

You can do this on Linux too with a recent firefox. It's nice. > impolitely suggesting he leave hidden files hidden).

Now that we have the a-lot-nicer-than-before fileselector that-still-has-issues-but-they-will-be-fixed-so-lets-not-get-into-it-here, it's a lot easier to get to the Desktop, and it is not a dot-directory, I stopped doing the home-as-desktop. It was a good transition period for me, but not needed much lately. Besides, I have started to save everything over sftp:// to my fileserver anyway. Works nicely globally. //Tuomas _______________________________________________ Usability mailing list [email protected] http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/usability
