Re: Window raising.

On 23 Nov, Bjoern Frantzen scribbled:
->  I've discovered that not all window-managers(1) are able to raise a window
->  when I issue the gdk_window_raise() function. Is there a portable way to check
->  the wm's abitlity to do such things?

yes - the way you do it now. (). Amiwm isn't fully properly written -
gdk_window_raise() will call XRaiseWindow(); whihc will generate a
CirculateRequest event to the WM - E honoirs this by doing whatvere the
circulaterequest event asked it to do (as it woudl with a configureevent
that asked to raise or lower). You will probably find this works wiht
most WM's (fvwm, WindowMaker, twm, E etc.) AmiWM just doesnt do
EVERYTHING.:(

->  (1) I've only checked with two wm's, E raises the window, but amiwm doesn't.
