Hello,
I've been using Ubuntu 12.04 since it came out, but used the Gnome3 desktop as I originally didn't get on with Unity. However I have decided to give it another go, and am getting on well with it.
However I am struggling to get Sloppy Focus to work on my desktop machine. In "Advanced Settings" I have "Windows Focus Mode" set to "Sloppy", and I have opened gconf-editor and gone to /-apps-metacity-general and set "Focus Mode" to "Sloppy" there as well. However it still won't do sloppy focus.
I know this is possible as I have another machine (a Dell laptop) which 12.04 on it, and with these settings it runs sloppy focus quite well.
What other settings are there which may prevent sloppy focus from working on my desktop machine? I don't know whether it's relevant but it's an nvidia 6600 graphics card, running nvidia-current drivers and is otherwise fine.
(Also, what's the difference between gconf-editor and dconf-editor? They seem to cover many of the same settings, but aren't identical.)
Thanks, in advance, for any help.
Oli.
