xfwm 4.6 introduced a rather nasty "feature" for users of |
2 |
certain window manager configurations: new windows are created |
3 |
at the bottom of the "stack" (underneath existing windows). |
4 |
This is pretty annoying for several reasons: |
5 |
|
6 |
* Everytime you start a new app, you have to go digging |
7 |
through the windows to find it. |
8 |
|
9 |
* Pop-up dialogs are hidden, so when an error occurs, many |
10 |
applications appear to "freeze", then you have to go |
11 |
digging to see if there are any buried error dialogs. |

Previous versions of xfwm4 created new windows on the top of |
14 |
the "stack". |

|
16 |
Here's an ebuild (in the form of an overlay tarball containing |
17 |
a single package) with a patch that reverts xfwm4 4.6.1 to the |
18 |
previous behavior of placing new windows on the top of the |
19 |
stack. |

I'm told there is an upstream fix in the works that will |
24 |
address at least partially address this issue. |
