Summary: Focus problem with gkrellm

Initial Comment:


I'm running Gkrellm with the following options (Icewm
version 1.2.15):

gkrellm.allWorkspaces: 1
gkrellm.ignoreWinList: 1
gkrellm.ignoreTaskBar: 1
gkrellm.ignoreQuickSwitch: 1

and I have found the following focus problem (I don't
know if it's caused by icewm or gkrellm):

1. go to workspace 1
2. open a terminal (I tested with Eterm)
3. change to another workspace
4. open another terminal and close it
5. switch to workspace 1; the terminal from this
workspace will not have the focus.

Another problem I found:
when I click on gkrellm and the press Alt-Tab (quick
switch), gkrellm is the list. When the workspace has
just gkrellm running, gkrellm is also in the quick
switch list. I don't know which is the desired behaviour.

this should work now that per-workspace last-focused window
is remembered (maybe this should be an option)

<linuce> Oh I see. In fact, that's more a conceptual problem
than a technical one
<linuce> captnmark: I think, but that what *I* think, that
when switching workspace, the previous focus windows in a
given workspace should get back its focus. In our case,
that's xterm, but frankly, some people might think differently.
<captnmark> what is probably needed is to make desktops much
more independant than they are now and have per-desktop focus
<captnmark> yes
<linuce> captnmark: yes, per-desktop focus is IMHO what is
needed. Does EWMH specify something about it ?
<captnmark> if course there might be a bad effect if you
give focus to address bar (or something) and it will switch
away on desktop switch (but this already happens now)
<captnmark> linuce: not exactly (but I need to reread it).

<captnmark> the problem is that when you switch to an
desktop with only rox, the rox gets focus (as it should) but
doesn't lose it when you switch back (because it's not
certain one would want that in every case). Need to think of
something

I am unable to reproduce the first problem (gkrellm
2.2.2-1.1.fc2.fr)
it seem to work fine for me. Are you using any other icewm
preferences other than the default (focus related, ...)?

The second issue is as desired.
The focused  window  will always be shown in the alt+tab list.
