Hello list, I'm entirely new to WM, just installed it (vers 0.81.0) on my SuSE 9.2 notebook. Before I froget about it, I want to record a first problem/experience with this list. A conditio sine qua non for me to use any window manager is this "focus follows mouse" mode - I'm so used to it I've already deleted files or messed up configurations when this feature was not implemented. So in WPrefs I selected "Auto" in the Windows Focus Preferences, restarted WM and nothing had changed. After some more trying, I turned to editing the WindowMaker file directly and found no entry "FocusMode" in the first place. Adding this entry with the value "FocusFollowsMouse" didn't help either, but setting it to "Sloppy" finally had the desired effect. Dunno whether this was due to some blunder of mine or is a feature of SuSE Linux ;-) Thomas -- -------------------------------------------------------------------- Thomas Roth Technische Universität Darmstadt - Institut für Kernphysik Schloßgartenstr. 9 - 64289 Darmstadt, Germany phone: +49 6151 16 3472 - fax: +49 6151 16 6076 http://crunch.ikp.physik.tu-darmstadt.de/~roth _______________________________________________ INFO: https://windowmaker.org/lists/listinfo/wm-user ARCHIVE: https://windowmaker.org/lists/archive/wm-user/ FAQ: http://windowmaker.org/faq.html
