Note: This bug is displayed in read-only format because the product is no longer active in Red Hat Bugzilla.

RHEL Engineering is moving the tracking of its product development work on RHEL 6 through RHEL 9 to Red Hat Jira (issues.redhat.com). If you're a Red Hat customer, please continue to file support cases via the Red Hat customer portal. If you're not, please head to the "RHEL project" in Red Hat Jira and file new tickets here. Individual Bugzilla bugs in the statuses "NEW", "ASSIGNED", and "POST" are being migrated throughout September 2023. Bugs of Red Hat partners with an assigned Engineering Partner Manager (EPM) are migrated in late September as per pre-agreed dates. Bugs against components "kernel", "kernel-rt", and "kpatch" are only migrated if still in "NEW" or "ASSIGNED". If you cannot log in to RH Jira, please consult article #7032570. That failing, please send an e-mail to the RH Jira admins at rh-issues@redhat.com to troubleshoot your issue as a user management inquiry. The email creates a ServiceNow ticket with Red Hat. Individual Bugzilla bugs that are migrated will be moved to status "CLOSED", resolution "MIGRATED", and set with "MigratedToJIRA" in "Keywords". The link to the successor Jira issue will be found under "Links", have a little "two-footprint" icon next to it, and direct you to the "RHEL project" in Red Hat Jira (issue links are of type "https://issues.redhat.com/browse/RHEL-XXXX", where "X" is a digit). This same link will be available in a blue banner at the top of the page informing you that that bug has been migrated.

Development Management has reviewed and declined this request. You may appeal this decision by reopening this request.

Comment 6 Carlos Soriano 2018-05-30 08:05:38 UTC

Closing  as WONTFIX since seems the solution from our end is unreliable, and would require motif to work differently.

Specifically:
"If you look at what's going on in the X protocol, Motif is drawing directly on the root window. This bypasses the normal drawing stream of a Composited desktop. From a protocol perspective, the icon doesn't exist."

Unfortunately not much we can do without reworking Motif I believe...

Comment 7 Peter Harris 2018-05-30 14:24:05 UTC

If you look at 1350000 (or the linked MotifZone bug, but MotifZone appears offline at the moment), there's a proposed patch already.

You don't need to rework anything, just use the other icon drawing mode that Motif already has.

No rework of Motif required.

I don't appear to have a re-open button. Could you please re-open this for me?

Comment 8 Carlos Soriano 2018-05-30 14:42:13 UTC

Hello Peter,

Upstream mentioned that the proposed fix was unreliable. I'm not sure we can proceed with this proposed fix without affecting other places of Motif.

I will investigate further, however this has been on the works for more than two years, I'm not sure a good solution can be found.
