I've tried to investigate this problem, and encountered the following on my recent trunk/ build: focus is not stolen when a notification pops up, and I can continue typing, however, while the NET:SkipTaskbar | NET:SkipPager flags are set on the window, and indeed the window is hidden in the taskbar and pager applet, the window does appear in the alt-tab switcher, which is undesirable. But according to http://api.kde.org/4.x-api/kdelibs- apidocs/kdeui/html/classNET.html, this shouldn't be the case: "To set the state of a window, you'll typically do something like: KWindowSystem::setState( winId(), NET::SkipTaskbar | NET::SkipPager ); for example to not show the window on the taskbar and pager (alt-tab dialog). winId() is a function of QWidget()" Is this maybe a bug in kwin? _______________________________________________ Plasma-devel mailing list Plasma-devel@kde.org https://mail.kde.org/mailman/listinfo/plasma-devel
