VWM changing after minimizing? Thread last updated on 2007-02-05 15:29:06

Hi all, running Litestep .24.7 RC3

Recently I have started using the VWM feature that most themes offer. I like the idea but it doesnt seem to be working out very well for me. The thing is, regardless of the theme I use I get this behaviour:

I tend to have a lot of windows open on each desktop and hop around quite a bit. If I minimize a given window in one session, Litestep will immediatly switch to another desktop. This appears to happen with no ryhme or reason at all that I can see.

Is there any parameter or configuration I can adjust to prevent litstep from bouncing me all over the virtual desktops outside of my control?

This used to happen to me as well. Try using "VWMNoSwitchOnFocus". This will prevent automatic switching when a window on a different desktop is focused. The downside is that Alt+Tabbing to such a window will not automatically change desktops for you.

Thanks, where do I put that entry?

If you're using an OTS2 setup (Omar's installer), it's already in your personal.rc file. You just need to set it to "true" rather than "false".
