So I didn’t want to spend any cash on PhotoShop and installed The Gimp on my MacBook. Unfortunately, The Gimp runs in X11 and that gives one little but very annoying problem: everytime I change window (e.g.: from Tools to the picture window itself), I have to click twice to do the action I want: first to get focus on the window, and then to do the action I want to do.
defaults write org.x.X11 wm_click_through -bool true
Enter it in a terminal, and restart X11.
Er is ook nog altijd LimeWire. Zo heb ik van horen zeggen he.
The Gimp suits me just fine.
did not work for me. (new macbook pro from jan 09)
I upgraded to the last version of x11, and selected click through inactive window on the preferences.
That did the trick for me.
Awesome help! Thanks
Since this is the first result I got about double-clicking in GIMP, I thought I’d leave this tidbit here: For those with OSX earlier than Leopard 10.5.5, the command is:
defaults write com.apple.x11 wm_click_through -bool true
Awesome! You have rendered the GIMP useable again. Thanks much!
life is beautiful again. muchas gracias
Awesome, thank you.
Worked great for me!! Thanks for the help. This had been driving me batty.
Awesome! gimp now work as like on linux and windows. But would this cause other problem to other apps?
Holy cow, that was driving me INSANE. GIMP was completely unusable like that, but now it works like a charm.
Thank you so much!!!
Thanks for posting. It worked I ran X11 on its own, entered the command into terminal, then closed down x11 and restarted it. Then ran the GIMP and it worked as intended. Thanks!
nicolas has saved me. Finally I don’t have to double click everything!
thanks! Worked like a charm!
