Mate main menu in Devuan Beowulf opens programs in background
by trafikpolisen from LinuxQuestions.org on (#58XSJ)
Hi!
I'm playing around a bit with Devuan (with the Mate desktop) and I've stumbled on an annoying problem. I prefer the more compact "Main Menu" in Mate over the "Menu Bar" that is default on the panel after installation. Problem is that when I launch applications from the main menu, they opens in the background, whereas if I launch them from the "Menu Bar" menu, they launch in the foreground as expected. I've googled, but haven't been able to find any result on such a problem. Any idea what could cause this and how to possibly fix it?
I also want to apologise for not having responded to some help I've gotten on some other posts on this forum. Been somewhat stressful lately...
All the best!
