I am trying to get X11 windows to come to the front (in front of non X11
windows) when I click on them (not X11.app Beta, but X11.app v. 1 compiled
from sources). I do not care whether they are able to interleave. In other
words, I'd be satisfied if all X11 windows came to the front when I clicked
on one of them. Currently, the only way I can get this to happen is to
click on the X11 icon in the dock. (Someone tell me what call that makes,
and I'll add it to my wm's mouse up event handler.)
TWM accomplishes this, but there are many aspects of TWM that get in the way
of my ease of use. Motif would likely accomplish this, but I have not been
able to get Motif to compile since upgrading to the latest X11. It has
trouble finding some library routines that it once could find. But I am not
enamored of motif, anyway. Parts needed for Sawfish have configure scripts
which do not know what darwin or osx are, so it won't compile, and this
cannot be solved by changing config.sub which has worked with other
configure scripts. Precompiled versions rely on libraries that X11 v. 1
updated and which cause Sawfish to crash. Afterstep compiles, does most of
what I want (at a memory price) but does not solve the move to the front
problem. My favorite wm because of size and stability is the original
oroborus.
I am using Apple's X11 v 1 XFree 1.4.3 compiled with Apple's gcc 3.3. I am
currently using Oroborus 2.0.13 as the window manager.
I have asked this question before, but none of the suggested solutions
solved the problem.
Thank you,
rdr
