[XFree86] ALT-TAB switch to window never get input focus

2007-05-18 Thread n g

hi List,

when using ALT-TAB to switch between windows,
if one have pop-up dialog,
then that dialog never get input focus,
than i have to move that window to and back from another workspace by
pressing ALT-CTRL-SHIFT-ARROW,
then the dialog will get input focus,

This would be a window manager issue.  Gnome in this case.  The X server 
does not move the input focus without instructions to do from a client, 
typically a window manager.  You'll need to forward your query to Gnome's 
forums.
