hi:
i am using winxp with litestep litestep installer 2.6 from omar.

i am using the latest ckvwm.

all seems to work well , but when in winxp i switch users , and then come back to the user with litestep , some apps will switch to the current screen and their positions all messed up.

if i had winamp or trillian on desktop 4 ,switched to desktop 6, switched user and come back ,trillian and winamp would go to desktop 6.

is there a fix for this?

winamp and trillian (only pro, not the free version for some reason) do this to me also on windows 2000 with ckvwm whenever i use a full screen app... ive just gotten into the habit of minimizing them before i start doing stuff like that

edit: one thing i have noticed about these programs is that i use xmouse set to focus on hover (not raise), and hovering over any winamp window or trillian container windows, and possibly the buddy list window (ive never tried it, and i dont currently use it) raise on hover instead of just activate... i dont know if that helps any, but those are the only two programs i use that have done that, so i thought it might be related

VWMHideTaskOnSwitch will probably fix this, but then you have to use VWMHideTaskOnSwitch.
