Setting this option to false, which is strongly discouraged, will decouple raising from other user actions, and ignore raise requests generated by applications. See http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=445447#c6. + Even when this option is false, windows can + still be raised by an alt-left-click anywhere on the window, a + normal click on the window decorations, or by special messages + from pagers, such as activation requests from tasklist applets. + This option is currently disabled in click-to-focus mode. + + Note that the list of ways to raise windows when raise_on_click + is false does not include programmatic requests from + applications to raise windows; such requests will be ignored + regardless of the reason for the request.
