Hi Hudson, not sure if I can do anything about this in a portable way.
One thing that annoyed me in X from day one is that creating a new window moves the focus to the new window. If the new window is for output only then this is only annoying because you loose the focus in the window that you are typing into (I'm a command-line guy). For that reason I grabbed the window back automatically after the ⎕PLOT window was created. If that causes the plot window to be minimized (I don't know because my machine behaves differently) then you could try to comment out the following lines in *Quad_PLOT.cc* (around line 1330): * xcb_set_input_focus(conn, XCB_INPUT_FOCUS_PARENT,** ** focusReply->focus, XCB_CURRENT_TIME);** * If not then please provide a solution to the problem. If it is portable (and not creating additional dependencies on libraries) then I will include it. Apart from that the *wmctrl* approach proposed by *enztec* looks good to me.
