Description Olli Artemjev 2007-09-21 18:29:30 UTC

The yast2 interface being run within KDE seems to know nothing about desktops & also uses very aggressive focus politics.

So, due to yast2 is _slow_ tool on startup & oftenly in work I run it on separate desktop & switch to other work. The popups regullary sent by, for example, software source/package management regullay arrive on my _another_ current desktop  interrupting work. The focus is being switched to the popup window.. It's very annoig, especially if you're typing somthing or work w/ shell, since during startup of software sources management it may happen a few times in a minute. :/

So, please, add these options to the interface:

checkbox: open popups on current desktop.
checkbox: do not steel focus on popup.

PS: The window maker in some configuration has similar opts to insist, but I donno about anything similar in KDE. So it may be assigned to KDE also?

I'm using 3D desktop, BTW, just looked at the pager - it seem to interpret all viewports as 1 desktops. So "know nothing about desktops" may be not correct - "don't care about viewports" looks tighter to the target.

Comment 2 Olli Artemjev 2007-09-22 03:08:08 UTC

Well, if doing somthing w/ viewports recognising is relatively hard to implement, then another option that should be easier to code should be added:
'open new windows/popups stricly above the position of current window' and again, stealing the focus should be an interface option. 

The current window position/geometry should be easy to access, isn't it?
