<short>Whether raising should be a side-effect of other user
interactions</short>
<long>
Setting this option to false can lead to buggy behavior, so
users are strongly discouraged from changing it from the default
of true.
Many actions (e.g. clicking in the client area, moving or
resizing the window) normally raise the window as a
side-effect. Set this option to false to decouple raising from
other user actions. Even when this option is false, windows can
still be raised by an alt-left-click anywhere on the window, a
normal click on the window decorations, or by special messages,
such as activation requests from pagers. This option is
currently disabled in click-to-focus mode.
normal click on the window decorations, or by special messages
from pagers, such as activation requests from tasklist applets.
This option is currently disabled in click-to-focus mode.
Note that the list of ways to raise windows when raise_on_click
is false does not include programmatic requests from
applications to raise windows; such requests will be ignored
regardless of the reason for the request. If you are an
application developer and have a user complaining that your
application does not work with this setting disabled, tell them
it is _their_ fault for breaking their window manager and that
they need to change this option back to true or live with the
bug they requested. See also
