Description of problem: when you have set the gnome preference to get the focus on the windows your mouse passes on and start k3b, you have after that to click on each window to give it focus, the preference is lost. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): FC5 with yum upgrade done dating from this post How reproducible: always Steps to Reproduce: 1.set gnome preference to get the focus on mouse over the window 2.start k3b 3. Actual results: you have to click on each window you want to focus on Expected results: no change in behaviour after starting k3b Additional info:
trying to set the focus values in live doesn't change anything, it is completely ignored. launching gconftool-2 -s '/apps/metacity/general/focus_mode' --type string mouse or gconftool-2 -s '/apps/metacity/general/focus_mode' --type string sloppy doesn't make the desktop change it's behaviour, you still have to log out and go back to go back to normal.
Same thing happens if you launch XEmacs (21.4.19) which I installed via yum. Not sure if xemacs runs k3b or not. I've also installed all updates as of today (4/7/2006).
