Also, some nasty applications may try to force focus change even in cases when ICCCM 4.2.7 doesn't allow it (e.g. they may try to activate their main window because the user definitely "needs" to see something happened - misusing of QWidget::setActiveWindow() may be such case). There are 4 ways how a window may become active: - the user changes the active window (e.g. focus follows mouse, clicking on some window's titlebar) - the change of focus will be done by KWin, so there's nothing to solve in this case - the change of active window will be requested using the _NET_ACTIVE_WINDOW message (handled in RootInfo::changeActiveWindow()) - such requests will be obeyed, because this request is meant mainly for e.g. taskbar asking the WM to change the active window as a result of some user action. Normal applications should use this request only rarely in special cases. See also below the discussion of _NET_ACTIVE_WINDOW_TRANSFER. - the change of active window will be done by performing XSetInputFocus() on a window that's not currently active. ICCCM 4.2.7 describes when the application may perform change of input focus. In order to handle misbehaving applications, KWin will try to detect focus changes to windows that don't belong to currently active application, and restore focus back to the currently active window, instead of activating the window that got focus (unfortunately there's no way to FocusChangeRedirect similar to e.g. SubstructureRedirect, so there will be short time when the focus will be changed). The check itself that's done is Workspace::allowWindowActivation() (see below). - a new window will be mapped - this is the most complicated case. If the new window belongs to the currently active application, it may be safely mapped on top and activated. The same if there's no active window, or the active window is the desktop. These checks are done by Workspace::allowWindowActivation(). Following checks need to compare times. One time is the timestamp of last user action in the currently active window, the other time is the timestamp of the action that originally caused mapping of the new window (e.g. when the application was started). If the first time is newer than the second one, the window will not be activated, as that indicates futher user actions took place after the action leading to this new mapped window. This check is done by Workspace::allowWindowActivation(). There are several ways how to get the timestamp of action that caused the new mapped window (done in X11Window::readUserTimeMapTimestamp()) : - the window may have the _NET_WM_USER_TIME property. This way the application may either explicitly request that the window is not activated (by using 0 timestamp), or the property contains the time of last user action in the application. - KWin itself tries to detect time of last user action in every window, by watching KeyPress and ButtonPress events on windows. This way some events may be missed (if they don't propagate to the toplevel window), but it's good as a fallback for applications that don't provide _NET_WM_USER_TIME, and missing some events may at most lead to unwanted focus stealing. - the timestamp may come from application startup notification. Application startup notification, if it exists for the new mapped window, should include time of the user action that caused it. - if there's no timestamp available, it's checked whether the new window belongs to some already running application - if yes, the timestamp will be 0 (i.e. refuse activation) - if the window is from session restored window, the timestamp will be 0 too, unless this application was the active one at the time when the session was saved, in which case the window will be activated if there wasn't any user interaction since the time KWin was started. - as the last resort, the _KDE_NET_USER_CREATION_TIME timestamp is used. For every toplevel window that is created (see CreateNotify handling), this property is set to the at that time current time. Since at this time it's known that the new window doesn't belong to any existing application (better said, the application doesn't have any other window mapped), it is either the very first window of the application, or it is the only window of the application that was hidden before. The latter case is handled by removing the property from windows before withdrawing them, making the timestamp empty for next mapping of the window. In the sooner case, the timestamp will be used. This helps in case when an application is launched without application startup notification, it creates its mainwindow, and starts its initialization (that may possibly take long time). The timestamp used will be older than any user action done after launching this application. - if no timestamp is found at all, the window is activated. The check whether two windows belong to the same application (same process) is done in X11Window::belongToSameApplication(). Not 100% reliable, but hopefully 99,99% reliable. As a somewhat special case, window activation is always enabled when session saving is in progress. When session saving, the session manager allows only one application to interact with the user. Not allowing window activation in such case would result in e.g. dialogs not becoming active, so focus stealing prevention would cause here more harm than good. Windows that attempted to become active but KWin prevented this will be marked as demanding user attention. They'll get the _NET_WM_STATE_DEMANDS_ATTENTION state, and the taskbar should mark them specially (blink, etc.). The state will be reset when the window eventually really becomes active. There are two more ways how a window can become obtrusive, window stealing focus: By showing above the active window, by either raising itself, or by moving itself on the active desktop. - KWin will refuse raising non-active window above the active one, unless they belong to the same application. Applications shouldn't raise their windows anyway (unless the app wants to raise one of its windows above another of its windows). - KWin activates windows moved to the current desktop (as that seems logical from the user's point of view, after sending the window there directly from KWin, or e.g. using pager). This means applications shouldn't send their windows to another desktop (SELI TODO - but what if they do?) Special cases I can think of: - konqueror reusing, i.e. kfmclient tells running Konqueror instance to open new window - without focus stealing prevention - no problem - with ASN (application startup notification) - ASN is forwarded, and because it's newer than the instance's user timestamp, it takes precedence - without ASN - user timestamp needs to be reset, otherwise it would be used, and it's old; moreover this new window mustn't be detected as window belonging to already running application, or it wouldn't be activated - see X11Window::sameAppWindowRoleMatch() for the (rather ugly) hack - konqueror preloading, i.e. window is created in advance, and kfmclient tells this Konqueror instance to show it later - without focus stealing prevention - no problem - with ASN - ASN is forwarded, and because it's newer than the instance's user timestamp, it takes precedence - without ASN - user timestamp needs to be reset, otherwise it would be used, and it's old; also, creation timestamp is changed to the time the instance starts (re-)initializing the window, this ensures creation timestamp will still work somewhat even in this case - KUniqueApplication - when the window is already visible, and the new instance wants it to activate - without focus stealing prevention - _NET_ACTIVE_WINDOW - no problem - with ASN - ASN is forwarded, and set on the already visible window, KWin treats the window as new with that ASN - without ASN - _NET_ACTIVE_WINDOW as application request is used, and there's no really usable timestamp, only timestamp from the time the (new) application instance was started, so KWin will activate the window *sigh* - the bad thing here is that there's absolutely no chance to recognize the case of starting this KUniqueApp from Konsole (and thus wanting the already visible window to become active) from the case when something started this KUniqueApp without ASN (in which case the already visible window shouldn't become active) - the only solution is using ASN for starting applications, at least silent (i.e. without feedback) - when one application wants to activate another application's window (e.g. KMail activating already running KAddressBook window ?) - without focus stealing prevention - _NET_ACTIVE_WINDOW - no problem - with ASN - can't be here, it's the KUniqueApp case then - without ASN - _NET_ACTIVE_WINDOW as application request should be used, KWin will activate the new window depending on the timestamp and whether it belongs to the currently active application _NET_ACTIVE_WINDOW usage: data.l[0]= 1 ->app request = 2 ->pager request = 0 - backwards compatibility data.l[1]= timestamp */ //**************************************** // Workspace //**************************************** /** * Informs the workspace about the active window, i.e. the window that * has the focus (or None if no window has the focus).
