[Gllug] Gaim and 'Raise windows on event'

[Simon Morris]

Hello,

This is a question for any Gnome/Gaim/Metacity users on the list.

There is an option in gaim to raise the window when new messages come
in... annoying as I find this it's critical as I often forget that
people were talking to me and layer windows on top... I remember some
time later and find a load of unanswered questions.

This feature hasn't worked since I upgraded to a distro with Gnome 2.10.

Having done some research and searched buglists for this problem it
seems to be the window focus stealing code in the window manager that is
stopping it working.

Has anyone got a work around, or does anyone know how to disable this
anti-focus-stealing feature in the wm?

Currently I'm running a standard installation of SUSE 9.3 but this
situation exist on other distros (I only recently started using SUSE)

Thanks
