Description of Problem: A click (left or right) inside a windows will always cause it to be raised, regardless of the focus or raise behaviour set in metacity-properties. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): metacity-2.4.0.92-5 How Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Set "point to give focus" and turn off "raise window on focus" in metacity-properties 2. Open a couple of xterms so that they overlap 3. Click in one of the lower ones Actual Results: The xterm is raised Expected Results: The xterm stays put Additional Information: This is frustrating if you work with many overlapped windows (e.g. xterms).
The "raise on focus" option refers to so-called "autoraise" not to what happens on click. See http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=86108 for tracking on this issue. Closing here, as it's tracked there.
