I can verify this on two additional systems. Looking at the changelog between 2.6.2 and 2.6.3, it looks like this problem may have been introduced by the final commit made on 2003-10-25 by Havoc Pennington: " 2003-10-25 Havoc Pennington <hp> * src/window.c (meta_window_notify_focus): if a window is focused which is not either a dock or a transient in the same group as dock, shuffle all dock/desktop windows to the end of the MRU list so they won't annoyingly get focus all the time. #123816 " *** Bug 109435 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. *** This is the same as the infamous bug 115072 on bugzilla.gnome.org. This has since been fixed, so this bug should probably be closed as fixed upstream. The bug appears to be fixed in Fedora Core 2 which ships with metacity 2.8.1. It seems a shame that even though the bug was fixed, an update was not issued for Fedora Core 1. I agree, but since there isn't one: If anyone needs an update (unofficial, obviously) that works for Fedora 1, you can download the one I created at http://www.math.utah.edu/~newren/linux/random/download/metacity-2.6.3-20.i386.rpm Thanks Elijah In the spirit of community contribution that is supposed to be inherant in Fedora, it seems to make sense for the community to provide fixes for problems like this, but there is no obvious mechanism for letting the community at large know about updates that RedHat are unwilling or unable to fix internally. |
