I have bound gmrun to ALT-F2. When I have skip_taskbar set to yes in rc.xml, gmrun does not get focus. This is quite annoying as I have manually click on it to get the focus.
<application name="gmrun">
<position>
<x>center</x>
<y>center</y>
</position>
<focus>yes</focus>
<layer>above</layer>
<skip_taskbar>yes</skip_taskbar>
</application>
If, however, I remove skip_taskbar as shown below, gmrun get its focus when launched.
<application name="gmrun">
<position>
<x>center</x>
<y>center</y>
</position>
<focus>yes</focus>
<layer>above</layer>
</application>
* Same issue with mplayer/terminal - Doesn't get focus when skip_taskbar is set to 'yes'.

Does Gmrun even show up in the taskbar without the setting? It's been a while since I used a panel, but I don't recall ever seeing gmrun in the tasks.

No. gmrun doesn't show up in the taskbar with or without skip_taskbar=yes. But when skip_taskbar is set to "yes" for any application, it doesn't get focus when launched.
I really don't want to see terminal (gnome terminal) and mplayer in the taskbar. But they don't get focus when skip_taskbar is set.
[Can someone pls check this in your setup for me?]

I also remember having that same issue with gmrun and skip_taskbar.

But if they tell you that I've lost my mind, maybe it's not gone just a little hard to find...

Its not only with gmrun. Like I said, if I set skip_taskbar to 'yes' for mplayer or gnome-terminal, they don't get focus. I have to manually click on the window every time they are lauched so they respond to key strokes.

I have the same problem, but, and this part is really bad, I also mostly don't have this issue.
So I can't help except to say I run OB 3.4.7.2 and [sometimes!] have the same issue as you.

Windows was made for looking at success from a distance through a wall of oversimplicity. Linux removes the wall, so you can just walk up to success and make it your own.
