Summary: Gaim new windows raised and focused

Initial Comment:
 I have commented this bug in gaim bugs section, but
they said a lot of times that this was an IceWM one.

 When a new windows is opened by Gaim, it gets focus
and gets raised on top. I have disabled the Gaim option
that raises new conversations, but IceWM continues to
raise and focus them.

 This is really annoying when you're typing anything in
other window (imagine that's a password!) and a Gaim
conversation gets focus. You're now typing in the new
window, so you have to manually change to the previous
window and retype some things...

 I have tried several winoption configurations, such as
noFocusonAppRaise and so, but with no success.

 I have seen this behavior in IceWM 1.2.15 to IceWM
1.2.18, and this behavior doesn't seem to be present in
other WMs or desktops environments.

Using this:

FocusOnMap=0
FocusOnMapTransient=1
FocusOnMapTransientActive=1
RaiseOnFocus=0

will cause the windows to be shown as usual, but not focused.

Keeping the windows behind currently active window is
planned for the future.

 Hi, I have seen that other window managers usually keep the
window in background, maybe with "urgent-hint" (blinking) on
taskbar, but not focused.

 I have read about this problem with Gaim on several sites:

  * Gaim bug?:
http://sourceforge.net/tracker/?func=detail&atid=350235&aid=1030619&group_id=235
  * XFCE bug?:
http://lunar-linux.org/pipermail/xfce-bugs/2004-August/001425.html

 But noone knows how to fix this issue. It seems that
Metacity is affected too. In case this isn't a bug... Is
there any option to get a behavior like described above one?

Sorry, but what do "other WMs" do in a such case? If a
window is a new window appears with "raise-it" flag, should
they delay it and show... say, 10 seconds after you typed
your last char? Or how does the perfect behaviour look in
your eyes? Or do you want manual window placement? Then
configure it this way.

You are bitching about disturbing behaviour but do not give
any concrete hints.
