Summary:
Right now a few of the window placement modes suffer one or more of the following problems:
- Inconsistency between the text shown in the Window Behavior and Window Rules KCMs
- Title does not indicate what it does
- Awkward wording
- Lack of unity in grammatical mood between the different modes
This patch fixes these issues by improving the strings and standardizing on the descriptive mood:
- Smart -> Minimal Overlapping
- Maximizing -> Maximized
- Cascade -> Cascaded
- Zero-Cornered -> In Top-Left Corner
Strings are also unified between the window behavior and window rules KCMs, and docbooks are adjusted accordingly.

<para> In the upper part of this control module you can see several
|
|
tabs: <guilabel>Focus</guilabel>, <guilabel>Titlebar Actions</guilabel>,
|
|
<guilabel>Window Actions</guilabel>, <guilabel>Moving</guilabel> and
|
|
<guilabel>Advanced</guilabel>. In the
|
|
<guilabel>Focus</guilabel> panel you can configure how windows gain or
|
|
lose focus, &ie; become active or inactive. Using
|
|
<guilabel>Titlebar Actions</guilabel> and <guilabel>Window Actions</guilabel>
|
|
you can configure how titlebars and windows react to
|
|
mouse clicks. <guilabel>Moving</guilabel> allows you to configure how
|
|
windows move and place themselves when started. The
|
|
<guilabel>Advanced</guilabel> options cover some specialized options
|
|
like <quote>window shading</quote>.

Once you have determined the focus policy, there are the window

raising options.

</para>

By placing a mark in front of <guilabel>Raise on hover, delayed by</guilabel>, &kde; can
|
|
bring a window to the front if the mouse is over that window for a
|

specified period of time. You can determine the delay for this option by using the spin box control.
|
|
</para>
|
|
|
|
<tip>
|
|
<para>
|
|
Setting the delay too short will cause a rapid fire changing of
|
|
windows, which can be quite distracting. Most people will like a delay
|
|
of 100-300 ms. This is responsive, but it will let you slide over the
|
|
corners of a window on your way to your destination without bringing
|
|
that window to the front.

If you do not use auto raise, make sure the
|
|
<guilabel>Click raises active window</guilabel> option has a mark in front of it. You
|
|
will not be happy with both auto raise and
|
|
<guilabel>Click raise active window</guilabel> disabled, the net effect is that

windows are not raised at all.
