Alt+click should raise with raise-on-click disabled

[James Pharaoh]

This might seem counter-intuitive but this is the behaviour exhibited by metacity. Alt+drag moves a window alt+middle-drag resizes it. Alt+click is an equivalent command to the window manager to /explicity/ raise a window. The raise-on-click option should only describe the /implicit/ raising when a click is directed to the application itself.

Thank you for your work

Sam, could you review the patch there?

James, could you add your patch to the bug? the merge requests seem buggy

[James Pharaoh (jamespharaoh)]

Sebastien, I think you processed the precise merge and the missing file comment referred to the oneiric one. That branch looked ok but the diff on the merge proposal didn't. I think I had already noticed and fixed the branch but didn't realise I needed to resubmit the merge proposal. I have now done this. Is that ok?

This bug is still present in the (as of today) current trusty thar release. I really would love to have a working WM setting as follows:

gsettings set org.gnome.desktop.wm.preferences focus-mode \'sloppy\'
gsettings set org.gnome.desktop.wm.preferences raise-on-click false

But the 2nd setting disables ANY raising of windows (I tried xterm and gnome-terminal).

Is there any hope that this will be fixed?
