Description Thiago Jung Bauermann 2006-10-14 11:01:01 UTC 
When window sets its _NET_WM_STATE to _NET_WM_STATE_DEMANDS_ATTENTION, compiz
should clear it after the window receives user attention (i.e., receives focus).

What happens now is that the window stays with that state forever, and thus its
entry in the taskbar is always flashing or highlighting. This is annoying with
IM and IRC applications.

I see this behavior on Debian's compiz package, which is version
0.0.13+git20060928. My apologies if it is already fixed in a newer version...

Thanks!

Should be fixed in head now. Please verify that it works.

Hi,

Sorry to take so long to get back to this...

Yes, it works now. I teste with compiz 0.2.2.
It still has a problem (at least in that version) in that if the window which requests attention already has focus, compiz should immediately clear the attention flag of the window (IMHO). Right now, the user must click on the title bar.
