Just go into the Xfce settings menu in dom0 and systematically look at every option. (Pretty sure they're all in "Window Manager" and "Window Manager Tweaks.") If it sounds like it would affect focus stealing, try setting it to whichever value sounds like the value you'd want, then test the result. I don't remember all the values I changed, since it was a long time ago, but there aren't that many. Should take less than 10 minutes. - -- Andrew David Wong (Axon) Community Manager, Qubes OS https://www.qubes-os.org -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- iQIcBAEBCgAGBQJY+tERAAoJENtN07w5UDAwIF8QAMJrNimdfUit9tIM1Aj+yb/Y RDQWfiAADmgrneSD6q3VCtIHvnsaLh8wMsbd1+Cz3bPy4M9Clv+3NP6di1RMWnWL jY0xfKBEjOVsDi7BGWKl2OkpeZ8+XxNhNzrxSMM8Ava+Id3W1dkj2MsQ+8WafBIT 0CBeCUW2r/TAtBVd188Ae8VcVAwhKeskSgueEBsx1XD5c5GvS3o3eAKw6Dt/Of6G pp2L5FRd6Np6JrSf/RKla7w0dHpXuuZlSTgBQvEo0gMRAvd5PzajtIcX5osJvouR DCnVM43is7rMbM7OfbeKkxsDvP52gIfkHEfqiU20LKtaQkmadGUQPu6OUr3Dlnp1 YLiHXLubXnAXLfXUDz5uqMNMKk+gq/FqkSjE36K/sHgjqMdmOIcZnX6xlaMHaLSI P7ZYvELyNscQ5+RWat2cWetZkAJMSRqKGB6n1j9DLb+mTtjcXj2x1LAXp3fR9qmI +uvrceiIryioAaFH3LaKqDKv+VhWicT/YqasKKPNZAf/WJq76TZWx3fkYva54c5e 1Xe59UVqCW/wbMqUA39uD3VzkESA/SpvuxVJYAGdi5cGYubuke+viMM2es5YhOJq GT5U2Jg9S5XPGPbZV19VANylWle7k5Fuh6SdsKY00FLVOrKpUTbdeEhv2Ywpyw1S Geno118ium+6bYax8zZp =7t0g -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "qubes-users" group.
