Hi all, I've set the gnome preferred terminal to xfce4-terminal. I've also bound it to a key sequence (actually, a keystroke, the windows key) so that it's easy to open a new terminal.
I have just one problem though. Very often (although never when there are no other open windows) when I press the windows key, the terminal will open, but it won't come to the foreground (I just started the terminal program with an explicit keystroke, I always want it to come to the foreground). It sits on the task bar, gently pulsing/glowing. Is there a command line parameter (or xfce4-terminal setting) I can give so that it always comes to the foreground when invoked? Is there a general X windows parameter that will force any X program to the foreground when invoked? I could switch to gnome-terminal I guess (I like having multiple terminals, no tabs and no menubar), I'd like to stick with xfce4 though, since it's smaller but is more convenient than, e.g., rxvt or xvt :-). I just tried out gnome-terminal. It doesn't have the slowly glowing on the taskbar behavior, so that's my backup solution, if no other solution comes up here. tiger -- Gerald Timothy Quimpo [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://bopolissimus*blogspot*com http://monotrematica*blogspot*com Quidquid latine dictum sit, altum sonatur. -- Gerald Timothy Quimpo [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://bopolissimus*blogspot*com http://monotrematica*blogspot*com Simplicity -- Design for simplicity; add complexity only where you must. -- http://www.faqs.org/docs/artu/ch01s06.html#id2877917 _________________________________________________ Philippine Linux Users' Group (PLUG) Mailing List http://lists.linux.org.ph/mailman/listinfo/plug Searchable Archives: http://archives.free.net.ph
