buckle up. for the first time in history, a config option is getting removed instead of added.
the reasons for this removal are many, but let's go way back to the beginning and see why it was added:
oh wait, we can't because the commit message (from 2006) is
>> patches that i said were in - commit. (see my reply emails)
>> also finish off a TODO item or 2
reading through the TODO items which were also crossed off in that commit, I'm assuming that this was the "option to NOT raise on focus in click to focus" item.
== REASON 1 ==
the problem here is that there's another, BETTER option called "click raises window" (always_click_to_raise) which does the same thing, except it doesn't totally fuck you when you get a random X focus event, which happens more often than you might think.
this means that, to avoid broken behavior which might cause your windows to spastically raise for a few frames in common cases (using winlist...) with click-to-focus, you have to know that this is the default-enabled option that's fucking you, and you have to remember to manually disable it every time. if you DON'T know that this is the option that's fucking you, and you just see windows randomly raising on their own, you'll probably either ignore it or file a bug, when this is supposed to be a "feature" that actually worked in reverse, since it was intended only for disabling.
== REASON 2 ==
there's also auto-raise, which can be set to 0.0s, which is effectively the same thing since it also triggers on focus but can be configured not to fuck your window stack
== REASON 3 ==
aaand finally, this option makes any sort of pointer focus model impossible to use, since your windows will constantly be raising all over as you move the mouse
tl;dr: I'm removing it, e-dealwithit.gif
In order to move composite inside the core we need to kill the
use_composite option. However in some places it is being used to switch
between ARGB and shaped windows. It doesn't make much sense to keep the
advanced/engine dialog to let the user toggle this options if we have
composite always enabledm, but lets allow the user to shoot
himself on the foot (for now).
Next step will be to move the comp module files to core so user can't
unload it anymore.

Title : Re: Re: [E-devel] [RFC] Virtual desktop window profile
It looks ok to me.
Sorry but can you re-generate the patch according to the recent ecore
merge to efl single tree?

added e_menu_item_new_relative(E_Menu, E_Menu_Item *rel) which appends
new item to rel or prepends it when rel is NULL.
changed e_gadcon_util_client_menu_append to to take only the gadget menu
and returns the new toplevel menu that should be shown by gcc
depending on the setting this is a new menu with gadget menu as submenu
or the gadet_menu with gadget menu items appended
updated e-modules-extra comes in a minute

int geometry_auto_move; // GUI
int geometry_auto_resize_limit; // GUI
This does influence the configure_request algorithm in the way that the user could disable the window
geometry move and resize feature that is useful for e.g. Gnome fileselector or gnome-terminal tabs.
There was a use case on the list where this was not nice so I created an option to disable it. If one thinks
a special e.src shouldn't activate this feature by default, please change it.

If you deactivate screensaver (ie: move mouse) or unlock desklock
within some given threshold, ask user if he would like to enter
presentation mode or even if should increase timeout to next event.
This is also useful when at the office and you quickly move mouse in
order to keep your explanation. If you know your explanation is short,
just hit "increase timeout", otherwise "Yes" to increase timeout.
Increase timeout is a multiplier that will increment the factor on
each dialog answer.
There is an option to stop asking. This can be changed in "Advanced"
versions of screensaver and desklock dialogs.

This option will make it possible to lock the screen after some
seconds screensaver started.
It is useful in cases you want a short screensaver and uses screenlock
but often need to unlock it quickly (ie: was talking to someone at the
office, screensaver starts and you would like to quickly avoid
desklock, otherwise need to stop talking, unlock and continue).

They are presented as a submenu with check items. Need to implement
support in modules, so they'll check for these variables.
DESIGNERS: could you please provide the following icons:
* preferences-modes: contain the other icons
* preferences-modes-presentation: system is in presentation mode,
no screensaver, locks and dpms will be available.
* preferences-modes-offline: system is offline, modules that keep
polling internet services (weather, forecasts, ...) should stop
and show "I'm offline" emblem. When network systems (network
manager, connman, exhalt...) are integrated, they will change
this state as well.

now). syscon has a poup with buttons (configurale) that offer all the
logout/reboot etc. stuff. also able to extend with more items or inline them
into the theme too.
not complete. need config for being able to extend the syscon popup (and use
it) and no gui config for configuring what should appear and how it should
look. possibly theme should have custon elements for the ones curently using
button + icon look. also no keyboard control.

Command line and configuration option to have Enlightenment to start
with desklock, so we can avoid a login manager and still be safe, but
everything will be loaded and you get a better user experience.
