Description Nik Clayton 2005-02-17 10:47:28 UTC 
Version:           1.0-beta8 (using KDE 3.3.2, compiled sources)
Compiler:          gcc version 3.4.2 [FreeBSD] 20040728
OS:                FreeBSD (i386) release 6.0-CURRENT

When middle-clicking a link to open it in the default web browser (instead of inside aKregator) the default web browser is brought to the front.

There should be an option to open in an external web browser, and keep that browser in the background.  This lets me quickly run through all the feeds, clicking the occasional link, and then switch to the web browser to read them all.

At the moment I have to click a link in aK, then send the web browser that's popped up to the back of the stack, go back to aK, and so on.

We use KApplications invokeBrowser() method to open the browser and thus we cannot say how the window should be opened as browser doesn't decide where does it go, that's what window manager does. Maybe there could be some kind of hack. Closing as WONTFIX.
