Hi all, There is one major annoyance with TPopupNotifier - it grabs focus - at least under GTK (both 1 and 2) - I have not tested it under windows myself, Felipe developed that part. This is NOT a good thing, the idea behind popupnotifier(in pretty much all cases I can think of anyway) is to show unobtrusive messages - whether these are coming from a systray icon or somewhere on a main app - it's not supposed to take focus away from whatever the user is working in, just give him notice of something.
Is there some way I can tell the form not to take focus when it's created ? Generally I know the window manager defaults to giving focus to new forms - but surely there must be a way to set a wm_hint to "don't take focus" ? If somebody can help me determine WHAT calls to use, I'll patch popupnotifier for this.
