Use a different window manager. Neither Gnome nor KDE really get the
idea. Try openbox (it's what I use) and in the install procedure it
will put itself on the session selector. If you don't mind doing a bit
of hand editing of the configuration file, which is remarkably easy to
understand, you can get extremely close to the RO look and feel. In
fact you can go further.
It's this window raising that really annoys me as well. On my first Linux Box RH6 it had Gnome with Enlightenment as the window manager which had 4 viewports (configurable) on to a large screen with auto-flip at the edges.
I find the separate workspaces a pita as well. The enlightenment that came with Mandriva One 2008 doesn't seem to have these features - was this an earlier incarnation or a RH thing, or am I missing a config somewhere?
