I thought you just had to change the type of X window that gets created for Gnome menus from one which steals focus to one which doesn't basically? "Menus" (simply a different kind of X window) clearly have a different kind of focus setting than most normal windows do, like Nautilus windows.
You'd think there would be a master control for any and all "menu" GTK windows, so that making such a change wouldn't be required across all programs, but only for the "menu" window class. But, I guess you know it's not an easy fix like that, since you said it wasn't. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Desktop Bugs, which is subscribed to gtk+2.0 in ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/700739 Title: Having to click once to close an open Gnome menu is confusing for new users -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs
