Window stacking order

2014-11-11 Thread Lundberg, Johannes
Hi I tried several different window managers on Linux and on all of them I can not get GNUstep apps to play nicely with other apps when it comes to windows stacking order. Currently I am using openbox and trying to configure an always on top X11 app but the GNUstep app gets on top when given

This applies to decor/borderless windows (decorno/decor in openbox rc.xml). If there are decors, it works as expected. -- Johannes Lundberg On Tue, Nov 11, 2014 at 5:55 PM, Lundberg, Johannes johan...@brilliantservice.co.jp wrote: Hi I tried several different window managers on Linux and

Without looking deeper into this, I would highly suspect that window manager hints (such as those specified in ICCCM https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Inter-Client_Communication_Conventions_Manual and EWMH https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Extended_Window_Manager_Hints) are not applied completely

Thanks for the reply! I tried Windowmaker, awesome, openbox.. It seems like Etoile guys started working on a window manager for Gnustep which would address this problem among things. A problem many seem to have (or maybe had). Don't remember the name, Az-something. Anyone know the status of this

Are you sure it's related? It could be, but it doesn't sound like it is (unless Johannes has configured multiple WMs to treat GNUstep apps as having to be always-on-top). Bug you linked to sounds like it's referencing inability to configure settings specifically *per-app*. Johannes's situation

Hi Johannes, just to better understand the case you are talking about. Is this correct: You have a normal GNUstep application, say Ink and have another X11 app that is running in alway on top mode (defined by what?). Then you focus a window of the GNUstep application and that window gets before

Hi, My existing code base does use gnustep on linux and I need to port them to Mac OS X (which all the code itself runs well because they are just dependent on standard FoundationKit APIs). The problem is that if I changed code structure in Linux side, I need to copy them and merge into Xcode

Hi Fred Exactly. I use openbox configuration layerabove/layer for one pure X11 app And decorno/decor for all apps I can give step by step instructions how to reproduce this on Lubuntu 14.04 tomorrow and will look closer at the source and test with some stock gnustep app after that. On
