We simply cannot consult everyone nor should we take into account
everyone's opinion. If we did that, the the desktop would contain every
feature available in a clunky interface and would lack consistency. I
don't think that's the right way to go.
Fair enough. I do understand this in a lot of cases. I realize what
you guys at Redhat are trying to do is very hard, and if every single
joe blow wanted to put in thier 2 pennies, nothing would get done.
Rob Adams has posted a request to remove the bug fix for now, and
possibly have the X developers fix this. I would concur with his
thinking. Please read the above bugzilla URL for more details.
My whole thinking on this is that, a developer, in a big project like
GNOME, shouldn't be able to fix bugs that cause known and working
features to stop working.
(Having input from the community _is_ valuable though; don't take
the
above paragraph out of context. *smile*)
That being said, having sloppy focus with a click to raise a window is
something I'd like too, as long as the click is passed through. I get
around it by having autoraise turned on, but it's still annoying at
times, especially in the GIMP (which is the reason why I'm using
autoraise in the first place).
When you interact with a window, you expect it to react. I've closed
the wrong window in the GIMP several times due to focus not being passed
correctly, including various docks which I cannot get back the way I
want without reconfiguring for several minutes. Other times it's a
document I was working on that I would have to reopen. It's highly
annoying, especially since Metacity (at one point in time) did the right
thing.
Right bud... Thanks for vocalizing something I in an illustrative way I
could not. It's hard to put these U.I. interaction things into positive
words when it doesn't work the way you want.
