Description Vladimir Brik 2008-02-26 00:49:08 UTC 
Version:            (using KDE 3.5.9)
Installed from:    Gentoo Packages
OS:                Linux

It appears that setting SeparateScreenFocus=true in kwinrc has no effect in kde 3.5.8 and 3.5.9 with xinerama. It used to work in kde 3.5.7 and earlier (I think).

That is, the window list shown upon switching windows with Alt-Tab shows all windows, not just current screen's windows, regardless of value SeparateScreenFocus

In fact, the default newly-created kwinrc file doesn't have SeparateScreenFocus option.

This primarily affects people who use "focus follows mouse" and maybe "focus under mouse" focusing policy.

Works fine here. The patch is not part of KDE3, so possibly a packaging problem.
