Package: vim-gtk Version: 1:6.4-006+1 Severity: normal I use gvim to edit mutt mails with the command:
gvim --remote I ran Xfce, and xfwm4 raises the gvim window but doesn't give it focus. I took this discussion to the Xfce user mailing list and it was found out that gvim is using the EWMH standard NET_ACTIVE_WINDOW to activate its existing window, but it's passing an old timestamp. More updated window managers, such as xfwm4, don't focus the window if the timestamp is too old. Older window managers, such as fluxbox, don't support the timestamp mechanism, so they always focus the window.
