Description Chris Bainbridge 2007-03-01 20:33:38 UTC

Version:            (using KDE KDE 3.5.5)
Installed from:    Gentoo Packages

I noticed this with gnucash, although it should affect other gtk/gnome apps.

Reproduce:

Try and close gnucash 
gnucash shows "Quit Gnucash?" modal dialog. 
Change focus with alt-tab or click, note that gnucash is no longer selectable with alt-tab. However, alt-tab and left mouse click on gnucash will focus it.

Comment 1 Lubos Lunak 2007-03-06 16:58:31 UTC

The dialog has _NET_WM_STATE_SKIP_TASKBAR set, which I consider a bug of Gnucash. The rest is a feature (bug #106818).
You can explicitly configure KWin to override the setting for the application (Alt+F3 -> Special window/application settings -> Preferences, enable Skip taskbar, set to Force, set value to disabled).
