Hello IOhannes,
Actually, I've been wondering about this myself. What do you mean with "configure the window manager"? As in people changing this manually on their computer settings, or as in hard-coded in the PD code?
no it has nothing to do with Pd. with "configure your window manager", i mean literally "configure your window manager".
the window manager is the application that manages your windows (hence the name :-)), e.g. window decoration, window positioning, window focusing...
how the wm can be configured is highly depending on the wm itself. e.g. on kde you can control the wm (kwin) via the kcontrol center. since this is my main wm, i don't know about others.
under gnome, you can most likely set this via system->windows (or whatever).
no, you can't. and searching gconf-editor for 'metacity' doesn't bring up any clues either.
as i posted into pd-dev, i think it's actually a bug in the way the Pd and Tcl/Tk communicate (or miscommunicate i think is the more appropriate term). under Gnome i have Alt-` set up to cycle through the windows of the current application key (as opposed to Alt-Tab which cycles through _all_ windows of _all_ applications). this key works with everything, *except* with Pd . under OSX with Pd-vanilla, you get the same problem. it's half-fixed with Pd-extended, in that it will cycle until you reach the main Pd window, then it stops and won't go any further.
i think these issues are related.
