I want to use emacsclient to bring Emacs frame to the front. I tried
several functions including raise-frame, x-focus-frame etc, but none
of them worked. All they do is causing the Emacs frame to flash in
the taskbar. Any ideas?
This is tested in Gnome 2.16 in Fedora 6.
Emacs 23: 20061218.
I just wanted to mention that I have the same problem. Running CVS
Emacs as of 2007-01-1 under Mandriva GNU/Linux, using GNOME with its
Metacity window manager. What I do is this:
$ emacsclient -e "(my-function)"
and my-function is:
(defun my-function ()
(select-frame-set-input-focus (selected-frame)))
(well, of course it does more than that but...)
Up until today I haven't played with emacsclient under GNU/Linux. I
have just used gnuclient & friends under w32. I am currently coding a
small command/url/hatever launcher in Emacs, and the current behavior
is quite frustrating (when Emacs is not the topmost window).
I see this code in xterm.c:
XTframe_raise_lower (f, raise_flag)
FRAME_PTR f;
int raise_flag;
{
if (raise_flag)
{
/* The following code is needed for `raise-frame' to work on
some versions of metacity; see Window Manager
Specification/Extended Window Manager Hints at
http://freedesktop.org/wiki/Standards_2fwm_2dspec
However, on other versions (metacity 2.17.2-1.fc7), it
reportedly causes hangs when resizing frames. */
/* Lisp_Object frame;
const char *atom = "_NET_ACTIVE_WINDOW"; */
x_raise_frame (f);
/* XSETFRAME (frame, f);
Fx_send_client_event (frame, make_number (0), frame,
make_unibyte_string (atom, strlen (atom)),
make_number (32),
Fcons (make_number (1),
Fcons (make_number (time (NULL) * 1000),
Qnil))); */
}
else
x_lower_frame (f);
}
Is is that piece of code that fails? My version of metaciy is 2.16.1.
