Description

Created attachment 3392 adds an option to turn of raising windows when scrolling

Default behavior of xfwm4 is to raise a window when clicked with any button (including the scroll button/mouse wheel). There is a hidden option (raise_with_any_button=false) to only raise when clicked with the left mouse button. Scrolling or clicking with right/middle button doesn't raise the window.

I like my windows to raise when clicked with left, right or middle button, but to stay unfocused when scrolled. Attached patch accomplishes this. See also http://bugzilla.xfce.org/show_bug.cgi?id=604
