Subject: Window manager commands in native window manager multiwindow mode
Date: Wed, 07 Oct 2015 15:20:00 -0000	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <CAK2rWZVi=aExzRrpo-WLWZMey+RVaFtTmy=McSwym0Vt1R-pvw@mail.gmail.com> (raw)

I ask this question from time to time just in case someone new sees it
and decides to work on it or others might agree that it is a priority.
Other people have raised this over the last few years as well.

The issue is that I would like to raise windows from within a program
(Emacs to be precise), but it doesn't work with the native window
manager running in multiwindow mode.

Emacs has several nice commands for which I have not-so-nice work
arounds (opening and closing windows). These are:

(raise-frame f)
(iconify-frame f)
(decionify-frame f)
(make-frame-visible f)

None of these work with Cygwin X.

Thanks
Gulliver
