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.

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?
