i've choosen only: ,point in window to make active'. (i don't want to raise the active
window generaly.) but if i click on a windowsframe in many cases this window
doesn't raise.how can that be? how can i
raise then(without lowering the other windows)?

Re: rise windows

The Style Manager should be able to cope with your setup ? the only reason I can think for inconsistencies could be a user having different window manager related resources relating to window behaviour under a home & a current session ...could this be the case ? you could check using xset -q ? grep Dtwm and look for focus policy etc .....

Can you confirm that the problem occurs for the user intermittently under the same CDE session / login. Confirm you are after the window been raised above the others by either clicking or pointing your cursor in the window.

Click and hold the window you want to raise and drag it up.

Re: rise windows

There is a defect in some versions of dtwm that causes it to not raise windows when it should. The problem is corrected in the current CDE patch.
