Raise/lower

[Ondrej Mihalyi]

Thanx for for advice, the only problem was when I tried this, was that I was too lazy to click on window title instead of clicking anywhere in window, and much more often, the title wasn't available.  However, after reading this thread, I know that I can use Alt+click anywhere to raise window, so the problem is solved :)  The only thing I could advise to XFCE, that the option "raise on click" is unchecked by default, maybe make left doubleclick on anywhere in not raised window do the same as Alt+click, so that user doesn't have to know the Alt key.  I believe that users wondering why a window doesn't raise when clicked on it (mainly if the option was by default) would try doubleclick at the first place.

Wishing nice time today to you all :)
