xraisewindow() not supported #116

Closed mse2 closed 10 years ago

mse2 commented 10 years ago

It has been reported that MSEgui applications: http://sourceforge.net/projects/mseide-msegui/ don't work well with jwm 2.2.2. It seems that xraisewindow() is not supported. The test project is here: https://gitorious.org/mseuniverse/mseuniverse/source/testcase/window/raisewindow

xraisewindow() is just xreconfigurewmwindow() in disguise. See my comments on #117.

mse2 commented 10 years ago

I expect that a call to xraisewindow() actually raises the window. What do you suggest to do in order to bring a window to front instead?

bbidulock commented 10 years ago

Do nothing. The WM decides when a window goes to the front or not. If you do not want the WM to control the window, set override redirect.

Outch, then further discussion is useless I fear. :-(

joewing commented 10 years ago

Since this is essentially the same as issue #117, I'm closing this one.
