Umm, running that makes the floating window disappear! It can be
reattached to normal frames using Mod1+A, though. Other windows of the
same kind which appear later behave as normal.
I wonder if the following would be useful: define a new winprop so that:
a. Floating windows with that flag do not take focus when they are
mapped to the screen, even if they happen to pop under the current
location of the mouse cursor.
b. Framed windows with that flag pop into the current frame, but they
just aren't shown: the current window is undisturbed (i.e. they pop
"under" the current window, so to say, maybe with an urgent flag).
Windows with that flag may be activated later normally.
The behaviour may be useful for onoxious apps which open windows without
warning (e.g. the download manager of Firefox, some chat windows from
Gaim/Pidgin... you may imagine the most perverse name for the winprop).
Or maybe the proposal is too bizarre indeed. ;)
Thanks anyway for the suggestion,
