[Bug 565283] Re: Gnome Do does not come completely to front in KDE

[Daniel Hahler]

Yes, it is related to the focus stealing prevention of KWin (just tested
with 4.6b2).

** Changed in: gnome-do (Ubuntu)
       Status: Expired => Triaged

** Changed in: gnome-do (Ubuntu)
       Status: Triaged => Invalid

** Also affects: kdebase (Ubuntu)
   Importance: Undecided
       Status: New

** Summary changed:

- Gnome Do does not come completely to front in KDE
+ Gnome Do does not come completely to front in KDE: please add default "prevent focus stealing workaround"

** Description changed:

  Binary package hint: gnome-do
  
  When pressing Super-Space, Gnome Do gets displayed, but does not come to front completely.
  It appears to be ordered below the window having currently focus.
  
  E.g. when now having Chromium in front, about half the width of the screen, pressing Super-Space displays Gnome Do, but only half of the window is visible, the other half is hidden behind the Chromium window.
  Gnome Do does have the keyboard focus though, also the mouse appears to be focused on it (in the sense of behaving different as long as Gnome Do is open).
  
  Typing anything to launch and pressing Enter launches it. Pressing
  Escape hides the window again - that appears to be normal.
  
  I do not have the KDE compositing effects enabled (using the nouveau
  driver).
  
+ WORKAROUND:
+ Add a window rule via system settings, similar to the ones provided by default ("(Default) Disable focus stealing prevention for Firefox").
+ 
+ Such a rule should get shipped by KDE by default, just like for Firefox
+ and the others.
