If I have two apps up and one is under the other, if I move the mouse to the second app, that part which is showing, it comes to the foreground automatically.....much like mouse tracking the menu. A second problem which is of the same sort is that if for example gnome-screenshot is up, and the mouse moves off that window, it disappears. It's still in the taskbar but it's very annoying. If the mouse slips off the edge it disappears. I am using the Debian-supplied version of IceWm and have tried many different themes...all seem to do the same thing so I suspect it may be one of the preferences I have set in the prefoverride file ?
