Prevention of focus stealing:
KWin tries to prevent unwanted changes of focus, that would result
from mapping a new window. 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::allowClientActivation() (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::allowClientActivation().
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::allowClientActivation().
There are several ways how to get the timestamp of action that caused
the new mapped window (done in Client::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 its 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 Client::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 one more ways how a window can become obstrusive, 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 Client::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
