epoch and obnoxious window self-raising

Can someone tell me how to STOP epoch from popping itself to the top of the
window stack each time I move the darn mouse past its window? This is
antisocial and tres obnoxious!
If I want it on the top of the window stack, I'll raise it myself. I've
never seen an X program get so excited over brief focus events!
My window manager is in the mode where if the mouse is in the window, that
window has the focus. That doesn't give epoch the right to raise itself.
I have this problem in 4.0, but it's a 3.2 problem too.
Thanks,

Oh, no! You walked into the slavering fangs of a lurking grue.

you set the variable auto-raise-screen (or is it epoch::auto-raise-screen, I forget and my manuals at work) to NIL. see the epoch manual or the online info for more info. cheers Simon -- Simon Kaplan ConversationBuilder Project Human-Computer Interaction Lab Department of Computer Science kaplan@cs.uiuc.edu University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign uiucdcs!kaplan@uunet.uu.net 1304 W.

I would like to have my minibuffer permanently raised, and the others only coming up on request. I guess that's a problem for my window manager? ----------------------- Quentin Stafford-Fraser Cambridge University Computer Lab qs101@cl.cam.ac.uk Tel +44 223 334645 ------------------

No, I do it like this:
(setq auto-raise-screen nil)
;; Make just the minibuffer auto-raise when an edit screen is selected.
(push (function (lambda () (raise-screen (minibuf-screen))))
*select-screen-hook*)
