+<title>Window Behavior</title>
+
+<para> In the upper part of this control module you can see several
+tabs: <guilabel>Focus</guilabel>, <guilabel>Titlebar Actions</guilabel>,
+<guilabel>Window Actions</guilabel>, <guilabel>Moving</guilabel>,
+<guilabel>Advanced</guilabel>, and <guilabel>Translucency</guilabel>.
+
+In the <guilabel>Focus</guilabel> panel you can configure how windows gain or
+lose focus, &ie; become active or inactive.
+
+Using <guilabel>Titlebar Actions</guilabel> and <guilabel>Window Actions</guilabel>
+you can configure how titlebars and windows react to
+mouse clicks.
+
+<guilabel>Moving</guilabel> allows you to configure how
+windows move and place themselves when started.
+
+The <guilabel>Advanced</guilabel> options cover some specialized options
+involving moving windows between desktops and <quote>window
+shading</quote>.
+
+The <guilabel>Translucency</guilabel> options support
+window manager desktop effects through the kompmgr compositing manager.
+</para>
+
+<note>
+<para>
+Please note the configuration options in this module will not take effect
+when you do not use &tde;'s native window manager, &twin;. When you use a
+different window manager, please refer to the respective documentation for
+customizing window behavior.
+</para>
+</note>
+
+<sect2 id="focus">
+<title>Focus</title>
+
+<para>
+The <quote>focus</quote> of the desktop refers to the window which the
+user is currently working on. The window with focus is often referred to
+as the <quote>active window</quote>.
+</para>
+
+<para>Focus does not necessarily mean the window is the one at the
+front &mdash; this is referred to as <quote>raised</quote>, and
+although this is configured here as well, focus and raising of windows
+are configured independently.</para>
+
+<sect3 id="focus-focus-policy">
+<title>Focus Policy</title>
+
+<para>
+There are four methods &tde; can use to determine the current focus:
+</para>
+
+<variablelist>
+<varlistentry>
+<term><guilabel>Click to Focus</guilabel></term>
+<listitem>
+<para>
+A window becomes active when you click into it.
+</para>
+</listitem>
+</varlistentry>
+
+<varlistentry>
+<term><guilabel>Focus Follows Mouse</guilabel></term>
+<listitem>
+<para>
+Moving the mouse pointer actively over a normal window activates it. New
+windows such as the mini command line invoked with
+<keycombo action="simul">&Alt;<keycap>F2</keycap></keycombo> will receive the focus,
+without you having to point the mouse at them explicitly.
+</para>
+
+<para>
+In other window managers, this is sometimes known as <quote>Sloppy focus
+follows mouse.</quote>
+</para>
+</listitem>
+</varlistentry>
+
+<varlistentry>
+<term><guilabel>Focus Under Mouse</guilabel></term>
+<listitem>
+<para>
+The window that happens to be under the mouse pointer becomes active. When
+the mouse is not over a window (for instance, it's on the desktop) the last
+window that was under the mouse has focus. New windows such as the mini
+command line invoked with <keycombo action="simul">&Alt;<keycap>F2</keycap></keycombo> will
+not receive the focus, you must move the mouse over them to type.
+</para>
+</listitem>
+</varlistentry>
+
+<varlistentry>
+<term><guilabel>Focus Strictly Under Mouse</guilabel></term>
+<listitem>
+<para>Similar to <guilabel>Focus Under Mouse</guilabel>, but even more
+strict with its interpretation. Only the window under the mouse pointer is
+active. When the mouse pointer is not over a window, no window has focus.
+New windows such as the mini command line invoked with
+<keycombo action="simul">&Alt;<keycap>F2</keycap></keycombo> will not receive the focus,
+you must move the mouse over them to type.
+</para>
+
+<note><para>Note that <guilabel>Focus Under Mouse</guilabel> and
+<guilabel>Focus Strictly Under Mouse</guilabel> prevent certain
+features from working properly, such as the
+<keycombo action="simul">&Alt;&Tab;</keycombo> windows switching dialog.</para>
+</note>
+
+</listitem>
+</varlistentry>
+</variablelist>
+
+<para>
+After deciding the focus policy, there are window raising options.
+</para>
+
+<para>
+When enabling <guilabel>Auto raise</guilabel>, &tde; can
+bring a window to the front when the mouse is over that window for a
+specified period. When <guilabel>Delay focus</guilabel> is enabled,
+there will be a delay after which the window the mouse pointer is over will become
+active (receive focus).
+This is very useful with the <guilabel>Focus Follows Mouse</guilabel> option.
+You can determine the delay for both options by using the spin box controls.
+</para>
+
+<tip>
+<para>
+Setting the delay too short will cause a rapid fire changing of
+windows, which can be quite distracting. Most people will like a delay
+of 100-300 milliseconds. This is responsive, but it will let you slide over the
+corners of a window on your way to your destination without bringing
+that window to the front.
+</para>
+</tip>
+
+<para>
+When you do not use <guilabel>Auto raise</guilabel>, ensure the
+<guilabel>Click raises active window</guilabel> option is enabled. You
+will not be happy with both <guilabel>Auto raise</guilabel> and
+<guilabel>Click raises active window</guilabel> disabled, the net effect is that
+windows are not raised at all.

+<title><guilabel>Navigation</guilabel></title>

+In the <guilabel>Navigation</guilabel> frame you can configure the way

+action="simul"> &Ctrl;&Tab;</keycombo>.
+</para>
+
+<para>
+<guilabel>Show window list while switching windows</guilabel>. This option determines
+the method used when switching applications using <keycombo action="simul">&Alt;
+&Tab;</keycombo>. Pressing and holding &Alt; while
+repeatedly pressing and releasing the &Tab; key, can take place in
+&tde; mode or in &CDE; mode. In &tde; mode you will see
+a window box in the middle of the screen showing the currently selected
+application while still holding the &Alt; key. In
+&CDE; mode there is no window box and the focus immediately goes to each
+new application when selected by pressing the &Tab; key.
+</para>
+
+<para>
+<guilabel>Traverse windows on all desktops</guilabel>. With this option enabled, switching
+windows with <keycombo action="simul">
+&Alt;&Tab;</keycombo> will show all applications on all
+desktops and take you to the appropriate desktop for the application you
+select. When disabled, only windows on your current desktop are
+selectable with <keycombo action="simul">

+select the first desktop.</para>

+You can have windows automatically unshade when you simply place the
+mouse over their shaded titlebar. Just check the <guilabel>Enable
+hover</guilabel> check box in the <guilabel>Advanced</guilabel> tab of
