Recommended update for metacity
SUSE Recommended Update: Recommended update for metacity
This update for the Metacity window manager adds a new configuration
option (/apps/metacity/general/new_windows_always_on_top) that, when
enabled, forces new windows to be placed always on top, even if they are
denied focus.
This is useful on large screens and multihead setups where the tasklist
can be hard to notice and difficult to access with the mouse, so the
normal behaviour of flashing in the tasklist is less effective.
