00:10 <waleee> I can see a problem if windows in other tags are technically implemented as "hidden"

20:16 <leon-p> Franciman: no

20:17 <leon-p> waleee: "hidden" is just a word I used to refer non-displayed windows, since it's a bit short than "not displayed". You should not try to infer any implementation details from that.

20:18 <leon-p> what is relevant here is that river ignores activation requests (focusing) of windows that are not currently displayed

20:20 <leon-p> Franciman: the foreign toplevel protocol does communicate whether a window in river is displayed or not. In theory we could use the minimized state for that and honour minimize/unminize requests, but it's pholosophically not quite clean, so we did not do that

20:21 <leon-p> *philosophically, my typing is bad today, wow

20:22 <leon-p> but it's not useful to invest any effort into this now, since the WM protocol will require all this to change anyway
