<div dir="ltr"><div><div><div><div><div><div>Hello:<br><br></div>I have tried a plethora of window management systems. XFCE4 is my goto desktop system. I have few problems with it, and I feel confident that it will do what I need it to do. Nice!<br><br></div>Well, here's something I could use help with: numerous times, when typing (as today, in a terminal), early, as XFCE4 is just starting up, if I am typing, a new window covers the window I am typing in.<br><br></div>Is there a setting that can prevent this? I want the window I am typing in to stay on top and remain active. Otherwise, my thought stream is interrupted as I search for the window that just disappeared. <br><br></div>I would appreciate any suggestion. I wonder what is "smart placement". This, in my mind, would be a smart thing for the window manager to do! Stay out of my way. <br><br></div>Thank you again,<br><br></div>Alan Davis<br><div><div><div><div><div><br>-- <br><div><div><div class="gmail_signature" data-smartmail="gmail_signature"><div dir="ltr"><div><div dir="ltr"><div dir="ltr"><div dir="ltr">[I do not] carry such information in my mind since it is readily</div><div dir="ltr">available in books. …The value of a college education is not the</div><div dir="ltr">learning of many facts but the training of the mind to think. </div><div> ---Albert Einstein </div><div>"Sweet instruments <span style="font-size:12.8px">hung up in cases. . . keep their sounds to themselves."</span><span style="font-size:12.8px"> </span></div><div> ---Shakespeare, _Timon of Athens_</div></div></div></div></div></div>
