I, err, have to jump in here and say Please, If you're going to do
anything with when windows are raised, raise them more aggressively!
tried sloppy focus already?
Or fix how windows that aren't raised are handled; right now they are
completely muted.
i think a great problem when we are trying to exchange objects between two windows is the raise on click problem, see: http://blogs.gnome.org/metacity/2008/06/11/drag-and-drop/
Raising more aggressively may have its virtues, yet the computer should not make drag and drop more difficult in the process..
