Fluxbox Bug: SloppyFocus mode missing
Hi
Upgraded from Debian stable into testing, I notice one most important
feature missing from fluxbox -- the SloppyFocus mode. Ie, the mode of
traditional X behaviour -- auto raise the window when the mouse stay on a
window for a while.
I've been asking this question in all the possible places and finally get
the answer from the fluxbox support forum:
The 'sloppy focus' or 'semi-sloppy focus' mode is missing from the current
Debian release (v0.9.14-1.2, both testing and unstable)
(https://sourceforge.net/forum/forum.php?thread_id=1536863&forum_id=110771)
Proof:
1. The following is taken from the man fluxbox that comes with v0.9.14-1.2:
,-----
| Focus Model
| For Click To Focus The window must be clicked to get the focus. In
| Semi Sloppy Focus the focus is transferred to the window under the
| mouse, after some delay. For Sloppy Focus tabbed windows are activated
| by moving the mouse into the tab.
`-----
But the options are not there in the focus model configuration.
2. This is what I tried:
completely remove the fluxbox package with the configuration files, then
re-install it.
create a new user. In its home directory, there are no .x* .X* files, nor
the .fluxbox directory.
echo exec fluxbox > ~/.xsession
then startx.
Ie, in above X/fluxbox setting, everything is taken from system.
Please help. I can't do without the auto raise feature. Thanks
