maybe its a stupid question, but i could not find any answers. what i mean: i have opened dolphin and some other application (avidemux, dolphin, firefox,etc). in the first window (dolphin) i have a file. i drag it to another window/application and if i release the left-button of mouse, the window/application of the drag destination become active (raise). is it any way to make it to come in front/top (active) once mouse is over window while still dragging, before releasing the mouse? there is "focus" stings (focus under mouse/raise with the delay) in "windows Behavior". the focus under mouse is working fine, but is not working while dragging. it would be very handy to see where i drop the file, especially if i only see a small partition of the destination window, which is behind other windows.
my spec: suse 11.3, 64 bit, kde 4.5.3, kernel: 2.634.7

Actually this was the default behavior of original X software (Motif). You should be able to configure it in your window manager's settings. Look for mouse settings, then look for window activation. I don't know which window manager you are using but I remember seeing it in KDE.

I always found this mode of window activation extremely irritating. Your mouse drifts out of the window that you are typing into and the window behind it comes forward. I hated it.

i find it useless too (focus under mouse), but "focus under dragging" is essential... looked every where, still no luck.
keep looking...

Drag it to the windows list on the panel. When you hover appropriate button, window will raise.

thanks z-vet, its a good alternative. but what happened to the old drag-and-drop? if i am not mistaken, every thing was working ok in previous releases of suse. i am surprised no one came across this issue, or is it working for others?

@stasik: i don't know, i switched to GNOME after KDE4 disaster. Drag and drop works here as it always worked.
