From e34d84a17341bb82af38fb84c6c070bb58b6d5b5 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: "Owen W. Taylor" Date: Wed, 9 Nov 2011 16:00:36 -0500 Subject: Add _NET_WM_STATE_FOCUSED MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8 Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit Patch from Rui Tiago Cação Matos to add a a new _NET_WM_STATE atom that accurately tracks when the window manager shows the window decorations as active or inactive. This allows for better handling of cases where modal dialogs might be shown as a unit with a parent window, or where grabs cause a disjunction between X input focus and the focus displayed to the user. --- wm-spec/wm-spec.xml | 27 +++++++++++++++++++++++++-- 1 file changed, 25 insertions(+), 2 deletions(-) (limited to 'wm-spec') diff --git a/wm-spec/wm-spec.xml b/wm-spec/wm-spec.xml index 98f9f9b..014b40b 100644 --- a/wm-spec/wm-spec.xml +++ b/wm-spec/wm-spec.xml @@ -1,7 +1,7 @@ - + + ]>
