Bug 1195393

I can reproduce this even with xfwm4 - 4.11.x - but only with evince. :(

Meld works quite fine - meaning it shows the expected behavior.

Yeah, I see it here too. 

Perhaps we could/should file a evince bug upstream and they could route to gtk3 if it's a gtk3 issue?

Yeah, if that makes more sense, that's fine with me.  Want me to just change the component on this bug?

I guess I don't understand it well enough.  I only filed this against Xfce WM because in my limited conception, the WM is responsible for "enforcing" all the rules.  But, I see from these recent GTK3 bugs that a lot of what I thought were WM things, like drawing decorations, depend on client code.  I guess things have changed since twm!

I defer to others more knowledgeable.

I think that might be a good approach. If I am done with other things, I will file a bug on GNOME bugzilla today. If not, tomorrow ..

Did the upstream bug ever get filed?  I'd like to check on it, if it did.

This message is a reminder that Fedora 21 is nearing its end of life.
Approximately 4 (four) weeks from now Fedora will stop maintaining
and issuing updates for Fedora 21. It is Fedora's policy to close all
bug reports from releases that are no longer maintained. At that time
this bug will be closed as EOL if it remains open with a Fedora  'version'
of '21'.

Package Maintainer: If you wish for this bug to remain open because you
plan to fix it in a currently maintained version, simply change the 'version' 
to a later Fedora version.

Thank you for reporting this issue and we are sorry that we were not 
able to fix it before Fedora 21 is end of life. If you would still like 
to see this bug fixed and are able to reproduce it against a later version 
of Fedora, you are encouraged  change the 'version' to a later Fedora 
version prior this bug is closed as described in the policy above.

Although we aim to fix as many bugs as possible during every release's 
lifetime, sometimes those efforts are overtaken by events. Often a 
more recent Fedora release includes newer upstream software that fixes 
bugs or makes them obsolete.

Bother.

Is there something I can do to help here?  Perhaps, by now, someone knows why this is happening, at least?

Aha!  Okay, so #1 is fixed.  I confess, I didn't noticed when that happened.  It could have been before F24.

But, #2 still exists, as do the other things like:

3) Shading is broken.  There is no way to shade GTK3 applications.

I don't believe I'm the only Xfce user who has noticed that you cannot shade, raise, or lower Document Viewer (evince) or any of the other, similarly designed gtk3 programs.  Someone must know why is this.  Could you enlighten me?

Well, I think this is due to evince (and some other gnome apps) using client side decorations now. 

I dont know that there is anything we can really do. 

I suppose you could file an upstream bug (or ask that we do so). I fear it would end like https://bugzilla.xfce.org/show_bug.cgi?id=10631 however. 

Would you like me to file upstream? Or would you be willing to? (against xfwm4 in bugzilla.xfce.org)

Okay, I think that makes sense.  Thanks Kevin.

Sure, I'm willing to file it, that's no problem.

Thanks for filing the bug report.

Hmm, not sure what to do.  Clearly this is not resolved in current F26.

But, it's also reported upstream.  So, does this bug stay open?

I don't see any reason to have this bug and also the upstream ones...
