A GUI is configured to give a user a selectable option to choose a preferred amount of offset for cascading menus. The user can manually input an offset of any value and in a preferred embodiment the offset is selectable from 1-100%, and presets can be made available from a drop-down menu (e.g., in 10% increments, i.e., 10%, 20%, 30%, etc.) for selection. This allows the user to minimize the need to move the mouse pointer horizontally to access a cascading menu and thus reduces the inadvertent selection of an incorrect menu item.

A GUI is configured to automatically shift the position of mouse pointer, upon activation of a menu selection that invokes a cascading child menu, to a location on or adjacent to the invoked child menu. This minimizes the need to move the mouse pointer horizontally to access a cascading menu and thus reduces the inadvertent selection of an incorrect menu item.

In a data processing system having an associated display device and a graphical user interface presented therein, a focus change request is received from an application of the data processing system requesting focus of the graphical user interface. In response to receipt of the focus change request, granting of the focus change request is delayed for a predetermined interval following a last user-generated keyboard event. Following elapsing of the predetermined interval, the focus change request is granted, such that the requesting application is awarded focus of the graphical user interface.

This is a system (as an example) to prevent an undesirable condition of a second application GUI interface window blocking the first application GUI interface window, while the user's focus is on the first window, and causes an unintended input into a wrong application. This is accomplished (as an example) by temporarily discarding the inputs while the Graphical cursor is located on the 2nd application's GUI interface for a predetermined amount of time and gives the user enough time to refocus on this new application GUI interface.

A method, medium and implementing processing system are provided for enabling access to specific privileged commands that are required to successfully execute tasks within an application only to individuals assigned a predetermined role to perform such tasks. In one example, the system administrator defines roles that contain the authorizations needed in order to provide the granularity of security that the users' company has defined. Once the system administrator defines the roles and assigns them to the users, then each user will have the authorizations needed in order to authenticate with the console and perform the system management tasks that they have been assigned. Thus, a web console consisting of a collection of web applications is enabled with the functionality to restrict access to privileged commands necessary to perform selected system management tasks.

The ISC presents at least one input interface to a display for an administrative user name and at least one console role. The ISC receives an administrative user name and a console role. The ISC obtains an authorization descriptor that can be used to couple the administrative user name and the console role.

A user at a first computer system with a defined block of native text/graphics on a clipboard supported by the first computer system is enabled to provide this same block of marshalled native text in its precise format on a clipboard supported by a second computer system that has a different platform or operating system, wherein the marshalled native text on the clipboard of the second system is ready to be unmarshalled and pasted into a text document stored in the second computer transparently, without losing the format or any of the other attributes of the cut native text and graphics, as if it were a simple cut and paste routine on the same computer system.
