[Bug 45837] Re: "Focus Follows Mouse" doesn't set focus to Desktop

[kko]

OK, here's an interesting experiment in three parts (on KDE 3.5.5):
- Unselect the "automatically select icons" -option, press "apply", and close the control module.
- Create a couple new files on the desktop. (This might not be necessary, but I had none for the moment.)
- Re-open the mouse control module, but make sure you can see the desktop and some icons. Select the "automatically select icons" -option, and press "apply". (Close the module or don't, it doesn't matter.)
- _Now_ hover the mouse on the icons.

Result 1: the icons are _highlighted_, but _not shown as selected_.

- Now, click on the desktop.
- Hover over a window to activate it, then back on desktop.
- _Again_ hover the mouse on the icons.

Result 2: the icons on desktop are _shown_ as selected, but are _not
really_ selected, because - as explained, F2 can't rename them etc. etc.

- Again click on the desktop, _do not_ move mouse on any window.
- For the _3rd_ time, hover the mouse on the icons.

Result 3: This time the icons are _really_ selected, and you can F2 them
etc.

Yuriy Kozlov: Can you confirm this on KDE 3.5.6?
