(*** This bug was imported into bugs.kde.org ***) Package: kwin Version: KDE 3.0.1 Severity: wishlist Installed from: SuSE RPMs Compiler: Not Specified OS: Linux OS/Compiler notes: Not Specified There is a Feature I really miss in KDE. Drag a File change the the Application with ALT+TAB and drop the File...but ALT+TAB while dragging yust does not work :/ (Submitted via bugs.kde.org)
I'm not sure if that is possible, and the ALT+TAB box tries to grab both keyboard and mouse, and mouse is already grabbed during D'n'D. But you can move the mouse over taskbar entries and after a little delay the window belonging to the selected taskbar entry will be activated.
Fortunately, I was wrong, Qt apps grab only the mouse and not keyboard, so it's possible for the tabbox to grab only the keyboard. Fixed and backported. It still won't (and can't) work with applications that grab also keyboard while dragging, e.g. Nautilus.
Qt, however, still does XGrabServer in qt_xdnd_enable. As much as I figured out, this is only necessary for Motif (see http://www.newplanetsoftware.com/xdnd/other_protocols.html ). Gtk+, on the other hand, doesn't try to grab anything, so I wonder what causes Nautilus to grab.
