Maybe this is an XFCE thing? Have you tried:

a) unchecking the "Honor standard ICCCM focus hint"
b) selecting "Do nothing" for "When a window raises itself:"

See "Focus" in "Window Manager Tweaks" using the XFCE settings app.

Dear Sven,

thank you so much. This works for me.

In addition, you still have to right click on the top of the frame of the window you are 
working in and select "Always on Top" there. Then everything works perfectly.

See you!
Michael Singer

[qubes-users] Preventing opening windows of an AppVM from becoming the active window on the desktop

2022-02-03 Thread Michael Singer

Dear list,

I have a script running in an AppVM where the command "xdotool key" occurs frequently. 
The problem is that I cannot use the computer for other purposes while the script is running. 
Windows keep popping up while the script is running, and "xdotool key" does something to 
them.

Standard in the operating system Qubes is that an opening window automatically 
becomes the active window on the desktop. I am looking for a way to prevent 
exactly that for a specific app VM.

Would anyone know how to implement this? Either in a way that windows of this 
App-VM only become active when I actively click on them, or in a way that it is 
not possible to work with the windows of this AppVM at all until I revoke this 
setting?

Have a great day
Michael Singer
