Sounds like a Linux Window Manager trying to be helpful and really not
being helpful issue to me ;)
Whilst I appreciate the X11 guys (way back when) thinking that 'it
wasn't the job of X11 to determine window management policy'... They
were wrong and made the wrong choice as a result. All it has caused is a
lot of code to have to be written as a result to work around the lack of
a universally accepted and defined policy (well, API actually) - and
when everyone has to write their own code to do basic things, you just
end up with things neither working universally nor correctly :(
Warmest Regards,
Mark.
