Greetings,
Any new windows I generate appear behind the active window. Very
frustrating.
I can't figure out how to fix this and have very few custom window settings
except to force an app to a particular desktop--which I've done for years.
New install, Suse 10.3, KDE 3.5.9.

Start the "Control Center" and go to "Desktop"|"Window Behavior" and
choose the "Advanced" pane. Here you'll find a setting named "Focus
stealing prevention level", and if you set this to "Low" in the dropdown
menu then new windows should start on top of the others.

Thanks, T-O!
It was the "Hide utility windows for inactive applications" checkbox that
was goofing with me. Why it treated main windows as utility windows puzzles
me. This install is 2 days old, shouldn't have wacky config files yet...

Get forgiveness now -- tomorrow you may no longer feel guilty.

It can be both. You can use Gnus with both Emacs and XEmacs, with Emacs
its a console reader.
Its a great newsreader but the configuration is not a easy job for a
newcomer.
