With the version of metacity that comes with FC5 you can't disable this feature. However, so many people complained about it that the Gnome developers have released an update that does make it configurable (and retores the default behaviour to the way it was in 2.12). You can pick up an RPM of metacity with this patch from the Fedora Core updates-testing repository: http://download.fedora.redhat.com/pub/fedora/linux/core/updates/testing/5/ >but why would any one open a new terminal and wants it to hide in the >background? It's not something I'd ever want, but there are people out there who never want new windows to take focus from the one they're working in. Ron
