I don't believe any changes the to spec are needed; it already explicitly allows what we want to do. I was emailing because no one responded to your original email[1] where you requested that we change _NET_ACTIVE_WINDOW to not allow switching the workspace of a window and further that we, at least temporarily, agreed to make the change you requested in Metacity[2]. I feel that such a change, if adopted into the spec (it never was), would introduce policy to the hint and lead to inconsistent behavior among apps as they tried to work around it. I just wanted to avoid having the proposed _NET_ACTIVE_WINDOW changes be adopted as official and/or be included into the spec. Maybe I didn't need to send an email about this, I don't know. But I figured it couldn't hurt to bring up, just in case. I'm sorry if I've wasted anyone's time with this. However, I felt that it might also be useful to add some kind of hint for a different kind of activation (though my original intent was just to see if others wanted it and to assist if so, otherwise to not bother). At first, the only hint that I had thought of was for the window selector (e.g. "I'm a pager that has workspace-aware UI in my presententation of windows to the user, please act accordingly"), but you also suggested that it may be useful to distinguish between activating a window in a way that acts like a launch and activating an existing window. Is this something others are interested in at this time?
