[Wsmanager-devel] Switching to desktop with X11 stays inactive

[Joshua B. <jb1...@oa...>]

Hello,

I have been using Desktop Manager for quite some time now, and really
appreciate all of the effort that goes into making it work.  Recently
I switched X11 window managers, though, and since then I've noticed a
strange behavior with desktops and X11...  I run all of my X11 apps on
a single desktop, since X11 and OSX don't have the same behavior (mouse
focus being the most notable, for me) - but when I switch from a desktop
with an OSX application to the X11 desktop, X11 does not become active.

Until I switched from the OSX default window manager, this was not a
problem.  Looking at the Desktop Manager source code leads me to think
that Desktop Manager itself does not control the re-activating of the
program on the new desktop (is this true?)...  I'm not sure what can be
done to fix this issue, other than perhaps adding something like
AppleScript bindings to the entry of each desktop (so, for instance,
when switching to desktop 2 I could force the activation of X11)...

Does anyone else have this problem and know of a solution?

Thank you for your time,
--jtb
