It's not that the opacity isn't working, it's that the script doesn't
have anything setup to handle new windows. I have window placement set
to under-pointer, so most windows do receive focus and lose it when I
mouse away, but for any applications that set their own position (like
gmplayer or audacious), they're completely opaque and do not "dim" until
I first cycle focus. I was just wondering if anyone knew of a window
hook I could use as the others I mentioned didn't work.

Thanks,
