When Iceweasel from Debian testing gets a file with a MIME type it doesn't know how to handle it opens a dialog to prompt you to "open or save". This dialog doesn't generate a corresponding entry in the list presented by "alt-tab" in GNOME, but you can make focus return to Iceweasel itself, and then it is hard to get focus back to the dialog (unless you have a mouse). I eventually discovered that moving Iceweasel to another workspace (using Alt - Space and menu option, and then "ctrl+alt+arrow key" to switch to that workspace gets the focus back on the dialog. Okay keyboard-only GNOME users are probably a minority, but I suspect some fundamental goof in the kind of dialog or option passed when creating it. The bit I forgot was how to get focus onto Firefox from the dialog. -- The Mailing List for the Devon & Cornwall LUG http://mailman.dclug.org.uk/listinfo/list FAQ: http://www.dcglug.org.uk/listfaq
