Re: [BLUG] What have you done with Linux lately?

Okay that's good. I haven't come across it when using another computer,
but I probably just didn't know how to go in and adjust the settings
properly. I have come across where the window gains focus if you move
the mouse over it, but then usually the window raises if you click on
a button or click to insert the cursor somewhere.

No worries :)

I actually started using FVWM after virtual desktop support for the big
desktop managers came along, and I started using FVWM a couple years
after I started using Linux. So it's doubly backward :) I do restart
FVWM whenever I change the config file. Maybe there's a better way, but
it just takes a second and it's never disturbed anything that's running
in the windows. In other words, it's not like having to restart the X
server or anything. And, as it turns out, I actually change it pretty
rarely.
