Subject: bug#3464: 23.0.94; Please add new frame parameter for frame stacking order
Date: Wed, 3 Jun 2009 14:35:42 -0700 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <77152C6216744C43B6E44C77CC91C5F3@us.oracle.com> (raw)
A frame configuration saves the frame parameters of a set of frames.
This information records, for each frame, whether it is visible,
invisible, or iconified.
But it does not record the frame stacking order: which frames are in
front of which other frames. This is an important part of a user's
idea of what a frame configuration should be: Restoring a frame config
should restore the set of frames as they were when the config was
saved, including their positions front to back.
Feature request: Add this information to frame configs. Perhaps we
could add to each frame, as a frame parameter, its current stacking
order. Then we could perhaps make `set-frame-configuration' restore
this saved order.
I'm assuming this info can be obtained somehow from the window
manager.
I wonder too if we couldn't have a command to raise or lower a frame
just one notch at at time in the stacking order. Currently, we can
only raise it to the front or lower it to the back.
