Re: [opensuse] Yast bad manners

Hi Darryl,

yep, true... you can send a program to a specific desktop but in this particular case about YaST that Carlos has pointed out (it also happens to me with Skype, for example) the application takes the focus, no matter on which desktop you are working on...

I also run different programs in different desktops but, by now, I only know how to send them to a desktop, not how to force them. I'll take a closer look at the "window-specific settings" you mention when I'm back at home...


Cheers,
Martin

Hi Carlos,

I don't know whether this is a feature or not but this happens to me as
well using 10.2 and KDE.

So it is not a gnome problem. We know something more :-)

In KDE, you can force a program not to steal focus. You can also force
it onto a specific desktop. I haven't used them, so don't know how well
they work, but I have got into the habit of loading various programs in
different desktops, mostly to avoid desktop clutter.

I haven't used Gnome at all, so don't know if/how you would approach it
there, but once Yast loads, you could try a right-click on the title
bar, left click on properties, and look for "window-specific settings"
in the pop-up.
