[lubuntu] ALT+F2 Run window opens underneath other windows

linux-howto

http://ubuntuforums.org – Just installed Lubuntu last night on my netbook. Everything is running fine and working well, except the ALT+F2 run window will always pop up underneath the currently opened window (but above all other open windows). If I open up the run window via the Lubuntu start menu, it opens on top of all other windows; the issue is only seeming to happen via the ALT+F2 keyboard shortcut. It's a minor annoyance; I can easily just click on the window in the task bar to start using it, but I would have assumed that it would load as the top most window like nearly all other windows, especially considerin (Hardware)

Stories similar to [lubuntu] ALT+F2 Run window opens underneath other windows

I use SpaceFM as my primary file manager on Ubuntu. I typically open folder directly by keyboard shortcuts, so, e.g. Ctrl+Super+W opens my Work folder.

Specifically, I use execute the command spacefm -w /home/rasmus/Work/ by the above shortcut, with the -w ensuring that SpaceFM opens a new window.

However, this new window is not always open on top of the last active window on the workspace.

I found this question and it partially resolved my issue: Controlling window placement in unity with twinview

New windows and dialogue window prompts have stopped opening in my secondary monitor my default.

When I used windows xp, when I pressed a key with the windows logo, start menu opened and the bottom panel with window buttons appeared no matter what. Even in a fullscreen mode it was possible to click windows button, then Start menu opened and window buttons panel appeared.

I am running 11.10 and i need to have a vnc window for the connection to my windows 7 box (booo hiss etc) , i have two screens attached to my pc.

i would like to have a fullscreen dual window VNC window on one of the two workspaces of my ubuntu desktop , currently i can get close to this by manually resizing the vnc window as big as i can on the second workspace when it opens .

Hi,

I have installed Windows 7 in a Virtual Box which is running on top of Ubuntu 12.04 beta 64 bits. Guest additions are installed, everything is working fine with my Windows. There are just two little things I'd like to improve: When I'm in Windows (ie.

Ubuntu 12.04 32bit / Virtualbox 4.1.12

I'm at my wit's end with an issue I have with with multiple Virtualbox windows run fullscreen under Unity. When I click the Virtualbox icon on the Dash, the last-accessed Virtualbox window opens.

Xfce4 shortcuts and focus 1 year 45 weeks ago

Hi,I'm using Xfce4 with Compiz.I setup a keyboard shortcut in Xfce to start the terminal easily and it works fine. The only problem is, whenever I start the terminal via shortcut it does not get focused, it's the top window, but the window below still has the focus.

If I have a PowerShell window (at the PS command prompt) on display it prevents the computer shutting down.

i.e.

In Ubuntu, is it possible to attach one window to another window (so that one window becomes the "parent window" of the other window)? I'd like to know if it's possible to do this for any two open windows (for example, a Firefox browser window and a gedit window).
