--- Comment #2 from Mikolaj Zalewski mikolaj.zalewski@gmail.com 2007-10-11 16:18:57 --- The problem is that whether this WM_TAKE_FOCUS is sent is WM-dependent - e.g. on FVWM the focus follows the mouse and this problem is not present unless the user moves the mouse so quickly that it hovers over the tooltip (the same is in KDE when one chooses "Focus follows the mouse"). So it looks like ignoring the first WM_TAKE_FOCUS after ShowWindow won't work. There is also nothing special about the window style to make it unmanaged. X Windows is asynchronous so I'd expect removing the WM_TAKE_FOCUS hint for the time of showing the window also won't help.
