Re: Switching between Windows.

[Rajendrakumar Malode <rajendra_malode yahoo com>]

thanks james,

but my application already runs in full screen mode in target pc also.

the problem is i cant switch to another application windows by using alt+tab key - my application is always on top of other windows.

 

But it is possible on Turbo Linux(has motif wm) - in full screen mode i can switch to other applications using alt+tab key.

so please let me know what could be the problem with my target pc.

my target pc has motif window manager.
