Thanks for the reply. I will certainly not stop using Xmouse I'll just have to get used to the annoying popping up Paint.net window, because I'm not planning on stopping using that either.

I'm not a programmer, but as I understand it, it's not something support should be provided for. By raising a window on it's own, paint.net is not playing by the rules. The window manager (some windows component) should manage windows. Also note that this isn't some weird windows addon, but a normal feature in the Ease of Access Center, called 'Activate a window by hovering over it with the mouse' in Windows 7. The same feature exists in Vista.

While using Xmouse without the autoraise functionallity on Windows 7, Paint.net raises itself when either the tools or the history windowlet loses focus. Edit: the Paint.net window is only raised when the tools or history window is still fading out when the mouse cursor isn't on it anymore. When you wait for the window to fade out with the mouse cursor on the border of the window (aero enabled), and then move the cursor from the window, raising does not occur.
