Description Martin Kolman 2016-04-07 13:53:44 UTC

Description of problem:
The Metacity window manager overrides are currently only added by Lorax to the installation media, so they are not available on the installed system and Initial Setup can't used them.

How reproducible:
always

Actual results:
The Initial Setup graphical environment has various graphical glitches (useless window header bar, etc.) due to missing window manager overrides. This confuses users and breaks the visual workflow.

Expected results:
Initial Setup can use the same overrides as Anaconda, so that it's graphical environment looks the same as the Anaconda one and has no graphical glitches due to missing overrides.

Additional info:
This basically amounts to cherry-picking some patches from the Fedora Anaconda branch.

Comment 2 Martin Kolman 2016-04-07 13:57:35 UTC

The Initial Setup changes needed for this are tracked under bug 1310179.

Comment 3 Martin Kolman 2016-04-07 13:58:21 UTC

The Anaconda part of this is tracked under bug 1324889.

Comment 4 Brian Lane 2016-04-13 17:49:43 UTC

Do you have a list of patches in mind?

d746ea73237b098553a990b88e2342562934cfd0 is the patch that drops the gschema override files (which won't apply because the content of the files removed is different, but you get the idea). The theme file doesn't have as clear an analog, but it's the same kind of thing: just drop share/config_files/common/metacity-theme-2.xml and the part of share/runtime-postinstall.tmpl that installs it.
