Re: ISO: method for windows to stay where they are put

[Tim Peoples <tep toolman org>]

In gconf, try setting the following to false:

   /apps/metacity/general/auto_raise

(Of course, things like this are why I'm still holding on to Sawfish; it
lets me set things just as I want them (guess I'm just old and set in my
ways))
