Another couple of ideas for the float layer:
mod1-button2 should raise a window that's not at the top, but lower to the very bottom one that's already on top. Otherwise it can be hard to find obscured windows. But once this behavior is configurable, of course, this change will be less critical.
I don't know about this. But yes, I agree that mouse bindings should be configurable.
When dragging a window, I'd rather it was displayed is it'll be when I release it. Currently the window is raised to the top while being dragged, but then released at the current stacking level, with the result that you can easily "lose" the window you're dragging, if you drop it under a larger window. This change wouldn't prevent that loss, but would make it obvious, since the window would be hidden when you drag it under the larger one. Another solution would be to always raise windows when moving them.
I'm thinking that we should just always raise windows to the top of the floating layer when moving or resizing them. Anyone have any other thoughts on this issue? Jason Creighton
