That particular solution doesn't sit well with me since it intentionally breaks some stuff (which Gregory doesn't care about). He brought it up on the EWMH list where Lubos outright rejected it, so if that solution were implemented I addtionally believe it would only work for Gnome programs. > [1] http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=132339 There are multiple other feature requests for this as well, multiple marked as duplicates of others, many others still left open... The main ones I refer to are: http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=76672 http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=80984 http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=152952 http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=154260 The first two are kind of open-ended bugs on the matter, while the latter two (metacity and gtk+ respectively) discuss recent EWMH proposals and their implementation. I believe those latter two bugs are probably the important ones. The Metacity patch is really simple for either of the two proposals discussed there. The gtk+ patch for _NET_WM_TAKE_ACTIVITY is really easy and provided the basic behavior requested--but rather hackily. Owen did not like the hack at all, and thus _NET_WM_MOUSE_ACTION was born. Unfortunately, that one was tough with lots and lots of work needed for it. Matthias had it on the gtk+-2.8 schedule for a while, but I just haven't had time to work on the patch and no one else seems interested. I'm thinking that a subset that at leasts handles DND stuff ought to be doable, but again, I haven't had time to look that far into it. *shrug* Hope that helps somehow, Elijah _______________________________________________ Usability mailing list [email protected] http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/usability
