xfwm 4.6 introduced a rather nasty "feature" for users of certain window manager configurations: new windows are created at the bottom of the "stack" (underneath existing windows). This is pretty annoying for several reasons:
* Everytime you start a new app, you have to go digging through the windows to find it. * Pop-up dialogs are hidden, so when an error occurs, many applications appear to "freeze", then you have to go digging to see if there are any buried error dialogs. Previous versions of xfwm4 created new windows on the top of the "stack". Here's an ebuild (in the form of an overlay tarball containing a single package) with a patch that reverts xfwm4 4.6.1 to the previous behavior of placing new windows on the top of the stack. ftp://ftp.visi.com/users/grante/xfwm4/xfwm4-overlay.tar.bz2 I'm told there is an upstream fix in the works that will address at least partially address this issue.
