U3 or possibly an errata in the post-U3 queue has a hack for this. Havoc... is this now scheduled for U4? Is there any word on if/when this will be fixed? It would be nice for me and a bunch of my users who've asked me about this behavior change. Thanks, Dario There's a setting /apps/metacity/rhel3_extensions/raise_on_click in Update 4. Hm. I went and grabbed the U4 beta version of metacity and installed it. The option was there, but it didn't seem to work. The update didn't seem to want any additional dependancies. Did I miss something related I was supposed to have updated as well? /apps/metacity/rhel3_extensions/raise_on_click doesn't have any effects when using Focus Follows Mouse. Oh, I see - this bug is the reverse problem, i.e. wanting to raise when it doesn't. raise_on_click was added so you could disable raise when it did. What's the status on this? I have the metacity packages from update4 installed, but I still can't raise windows unless I click on the window decorations. What values are the raise_on_click and strict_pointer_mode supposed to have in order to be able to get the behavior I am looking for? Also, I was initinally unable to see /apps/metacity/rhel3_workarounds in gconf-editor because the file /etc/gconf/gconf.xml.defaults/apps/metacity/rhel3_workarounds was set to 750 instead of 755. This is because up2date used my default umask (037) instead of getting the file permissions from the rpm file itself. This is similar to bug#143486 (https://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=143486) Sorry, I guess I posted too soon. In gconf-editor if I right-click on both raise_on_click and strict_pointer_mode and select "unset" I am able to get the window focus behavior that I was looking for. The issue with /etc/gconf/gconf.xml.defaults/apps/metacity/rhel3_workarounds getting installed with my default umask of 037 should probably still be considered a bug however. Come on Red Hat, we your faithful customers believe in you... and have for the past six months of this bug being open. Please dedicate the resources this problem needs. Let's close it and be done with it! It's already closed... It is? I see above: Status: MODIFIED I'm confused MODIFIED = supposed to be fixed QA gets to some number of MODIFIED and changes them to FIXED Ok... so how is the QA going for this bug? QA doesn't move all MODIFIED bugs to FIXED, only certain bugs. It's supposed to be fixed. If it isn't, then let us know the version and the observed vs. expected behavior, and values of gconftool-2 --get /apps/metacity/rhel3_workarounds/raise_on_click and gconftool-2 --get /apps/metacity/rhel3_workarounds/strict_pointer_mode What errata was this fixed in? What version should I be checking? The latest for RHEL3, afaik. RHEL4 should also work. |
