Hello, Since this is my first time here I'd like to introduce myself: I have been a dedicated Window Maker user for a very long time. I guess it's close to 20 years now. Like many others I was looking for a more beautiful window manager back in the 1990s, but got frustrating whenever they crashed. The window manager was as close to a session manager as we got, and a crash would mean a lost session. Then Window Maker showed up. Both beautiful and stable. I've never looked back.
But last week I got a new laptop and fealt the need for something new. In particular a "panel" application which could collect all the useful freedesktop applets. Yes, I know about wmsystemtray. That didn't work so good for me since the applet icons end up really tiny on a 2560x1440 14" screen. So I ended up with the LXDE lxpanel. It does make the desktop look like it was designed by Frankenstein, but you cannot always get everything ;) Now finally, to the real issue: The panel obscured fullscreen windows. This is particularily annoying while watching movies. After a failing to find a setting for that, I started looking at the lxpanel source. And found that it looked mostly sane. No issues there. So I went on to the Window Maker source, and quickly found the change that made this happen. The fullscreen stacking level was removed in an attempt to solve the issue of fullscreen windows being stacked above focused windows: http://lists.windowmaker.org/dev//msg05863.html This made fullscreen windows stack like normal windows, which implies *below* the dock/panel.... I see that this bug has come up before: http://lists.windowmaker.org/dev/msg07312.html This is a revert of the patches introducing the problem, and a feeble attempt on solving the unfocused fullscreen issue. I'm a bit unsure about the latter.
