| n0b0dy | Hi Guys! | 13:04 |
| n0b0dy | and Gals of course | 13:05 |
| n0b0dy | I have something special here. | 13:05 |
| n0b0dy | Freshly installed xubuntu, very few custom settings. | 13:05 |
| n0b0dy | with every software that I start via a panel launcher something happens that puts the software in the background, like if ALT-TAB was pressed. | 13:07 |
| n0b0dy | software starts ok, no problems with execution so far, but it is backgrounded for some reason. | 13:07 |
| n0b0dy | so imagine: starting editor and you start to type, then you realize that typing is not in the editor window, for some reason the editor is backgrounded, but visible | 13:08 |
| n0b0dy | starting thunderbird and pressing F5 will not receive new mails, like it did for ten years, because something backgrounded Thunderbird meanwhile and F5 goes nowhere. | 13:09 |
| n0b0dy | I alays have to actively foreground the started app - what is annoying, of course. | 13:09 |
| n0b0dy | Now the question is "what then IS in the foreground?" - I do not know. | 13:09 |
| n0b0dy | I would like t o know: is this a known misbehaviour / bug and how to avoid that OR how can I debug this misbehaviour to understand better what goes wrong? | 13:10 |
| n0b0dy | thanks for your attention! | 13:10 |

| n0b0dy | Maybe one thing could help: is there any tool that shows me which app is stealing the foreground? | 13:18 |
| n0b0dy | by foreground I mean window focus, sorry | 13:19 |

| gebruiker | how can I disable Compiz? | 17:00 |
| gebruiker | back - i missed any potential answers. The questions I have is how do I disable compiz rendering in xubuntu? | 17:15 |
| Spass | gebruiker: Did you install compiz? Do you want to temporarily disable it or remove it completely? | 17:34 |
| gebruiker | Spass no just xubuntu without any addons | 17:37 |
| Spass | And you want to disable window shadows or something else? Because new Xubuntu doesn't use compiz as default, so if you didn't install it yourself you probably don't have it. | 17:42 |
| gebruiker | I already ran xfwm4 --replace but it didn't do anything. Am I correct that xfwm4 is just the default? - I would like to minmise resource use further and if disabling window shadows helps that is what I am aiming to do? Advise? | 17:44 |
| Spass | gebruiker: Yes, Xfwm4 is default so 'xfwm4 --replace' isn't needed. You may disable shadows in the Settings -> Window Manager Tweaks -> Compositor tab | 17:46 |
| gebruiker | thanks Spass ! | 17:49 |
| Spass | np | 17:51 |
