Re: Can't raise windows

Don't know about the alphabetical ordering--sounds kinda cool, though, at
least for a little while.  ;-)  But most of the configuration option of
the window manager are in ~/GNUstep/Library/AfterStep/desktop/feels, in
the "feel" files.  If you decide to go back to a newer version of AS, take
a look in this directory, maybe copy the default feel file (feel.DEFAULT)
to one of our own (feel.NEWNAME) and edit the new one to your heart's feel
for you).  However, the autoraise business is a module.  I guess it was
before, but they kind of hid it on you.  The module name is Auto.  I
didsbled it in the autoexec.XXbpp files in ~/GNUstep/Library/AfterStep,
both in the startup and restart sections.  I just commented out (with a #)
the Module "I" Auto 500 & line.

There's probably a better place to disable it (the docs say you probably
don't need to modify the base or autoexec files, but so far I've tore them
apart), maybe somebody could tell us?
