#173 Click to activate should not pass through to server

[Sean Kamath]

In most other mac applications, when you click in a
window to activate it, you do not activate any buttons
or whatnot in the application (try this in Mail or
Mozilla: Make the app non-activated, and click on a
button or something (like delete a message or follow a
link). The window will come forward, but the app does
not activate the button/link..).

I first noticed this when i activated VirtualPC and
buttons and whatever didn't get clicked. However, with
Chicken, the activating event is passed through.

This should not be so. . .

Nope, this is called "click-through". Here it is in Apple's Human Interface
Guidelines:

Search for "click-through". In Cocoa apps (Chicken of the VNC) it's "on" by
default. In Carbon apps (Virtual PC) it's "off" by default. For a comprehensive
example where it's turned on, try System Preferences.

Closing.

The connection window should not allow click-through. Reopening this bug.
