** Summary changed:

- Undesirable focus while closing or minimizing
+ Background window is focused to the front when closing or minimizing; should close/minimize without getting attention.

** Description changed:

  Binary package hint: compiz
  
  Compiz behaves slightly differently than metacity in the following
  situation:
  
  1. Open a window (e.g. gnome-terminal).
  2. Open a second window.
  3. Make sure the second window has focus and that the close-button of the first window is visible.
  4. Click on the close button on the title bar of the first (un-focused) window.
  
- Actual results: The un-focused window comes into focus in response to the click before closing.
- Expected results: The un-focused window quietly closes, remaining behind the second, focused window.

  The latter behavior is what metacity does, and it looks much cleaner.
  The same thing happens with the minimize button. I imagine there may be
  difficulties making compiz behave this way if wants to use animations
  for "close" and "minimize": one would want the animations to occur
  behind the focused window.
  
  I am using Ubuntu 7.10 with a pretty-much default (?) installation of
  compiz and compiz-fusion-plugins.
