Again, I think Fedora should reject this change to Metacity. I know that Redhat maintains custom kernel patches. Can we have a Metacity that doesn't implement this nutty window management?
Does Fedora Core have any influence over the development decisions of the Metacity project? Are we simply at the mercy of their whims?
If it's down to voting for one or the other, I can't stand applications that steal the focus or the foreground. Try using internet explorer while working in word, and see how distracting it is.
I have really become accustomed to indicating with my mouse onto which window I want in front, and into which window I'd like to type. Switching back to Windows or other wm's makes me crazy.
I do wish there were separate gestures (besides mouseover). So, I could left click the title, for foreground and keyboard focus, and right click for just keyboard focus. Or something.
