As far as I know this is just the issue I reported. My patch fixes this, but..

In an ideal world, this would be a property stuck to a window class, i.e. you click on "Attributes" for a particular window and check a box like "Ignore Focus Request Across Desktops"... Means that there's probably some more work involved to get this right. > This would for example break pagers that sends the _NET_ACTIVE_WINDOW > to change active windows if they are on different desktops. Yes, although WM's paging philosophy normally does not include pagers. But you're probably right in principle :) Sorry for the dumb question, but is there anyone who can give me a hint on where to start for making this fix an optional window attribute (and: how to access this information where the _NET_ACTIVE_WINDOW event is handled)?
