Description

Hi!

After more than 10 years using KDE, I dropped KDE from my system today... XFCE does everything i need - it's slim, beautiful AND FAST like a rocket :-) Thanks for your great work!

The ONLY feature I'm missing is "auto unroll on focus" for shaded windows....

The magic in KDE : If a shaded window GAINES FOCUS (no matter if it got focus via alt-tab or mouse or wmctrl or whatever) it rolls down - you can work with it and type etc.. When this window LOOSES FOCUS the window rolls up again and only the title is visible.

In short: unshaded window with focus gets shaded : window rolls up; shaded without focus : window is rolled up; shaded with focus : window is rolled down;

It would be great to see this feature in xfwm4...

Regards,

Andi
