[gcmd-dev] initial window focus

[Michael]

My response was too optimistic. It works perfectly with wmaker now, but it 
doesn't with metacity in a gnome-session -- just the same old buggy behaviour 
which i reported.

btw. metacity spits out a log:

Window manager warning: Received a _NET_WM_MOVERESIZE message for 0x1a00003 
(Configurat); these messages lack timestamps and therefore suck.
Window manager warning: last_focus_time (1193106590) is greater than comparison 
timestamp (10715421).  This most likely represents a buggy client sending 
inaccurate timestamps in messages such as _NET_ACTIVE_WINDOW.  Trying to work 
around...
Window manager warning: last_user_time (1193106590) is greater than comparison 
timestamp (10715421).  This most likely represents a buggy client sending 
inaccurate timestamps in messages such as _NET_ACTIVE_WINDOW.  Trying to work 
around...
Window manager warning: 0x2000003 (michael.wo) appears to be one of the 
offending windows with a timestamp of 1193106590.  Working around...

I deinstalled sawfish and moved to metacity just to see how it works, and it 
actually has some features which i know from wmaker. Did i mention you can 
cycle with mouse scrollwheel through any number of workspaces in wmaker, too ? 
And window list is middle click. You can have a floating workspace selector if 
you like.

Enlightenment, when i tested it several years ago, does an especially nice 
desktop but not real improvement in functionality, over wmaker.

And nowadays there's Beryl. But i seriously doubt it contributes anything 
towards productivity.

...well we need to keep up, and we need a full-3D tentacle-like gcmd-blurb ASAP!

Vista.
