Description Jean-Yves Lefort 2004-08-06 19:20:18 UTC 
Metacity 2.8.2 implements the new freedesktop.org EWMH specification,
but that causes new windows of applications not supporting that
specification to appear below existing ones.

The problem is extremely annoying. I recommend to add the following
patch to the port (see
http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=149028 for a detailed
discussion of the issue).
