Yes, that's an absolute requirement for my desktop, on which i program.

>   Flavor #2: autoraise
Absolutely NOT what i want, just as article notes.
Firefox sometimes and especially OpenOffice take application-side initiative
to autoraise on me, instead of letting the window manager take care of it
for me.  There are days when i consider reverting to fvwm1 (from fvwm2) to
see if it will override Fx & OOo to behave themselves.  Maybe I can configure
fvwm2 to do that if i bother to look up how.


For a different perspective on other aspects of UI:

(hmm, i thought i had a bookmark to some article arguing that Mac is
better wrt Fitts Law than Win/Lin, but I don't see that now.)
