Transparent desktop is overlayed above other windows if clicked #29

Closed stevenhoneyman closed 10 years ago

stevenhoneyman commented 10 years ago

If you run in transparent desktop mode, and left click on the desktop, then the desktop (and icons!) are drawn at the topmost level (even above stay-on-top windows) making everything look "stuck" because it can't be clicked through the desktop. The only way to continue is alt-tab to a different window.

I can get a screenshot if you can't replicate the problem I'm using Openbox WM

This should do the trick. I had actually tested it in Openbox with xcompmgr, but added some workarounds for it to work properly in Compiz because there are issues with transparent windows set as a desktop-type window there.

Nice, getting there :+1: I use compton for transparency by the way (if it makes a difference) Your change fixed this issue, I'll open another ticket for one it seems to have caused!
