Yup - happens here, too. Really REALLY annoying. Happens on both my FC4 machines after metacity update. VERY ANNOYING !!! Feels like I have no virtual desktops. *** Bug 166490 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. *** Seems this has been discussed in http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=128380 . The changed behaviour was introduced in Metacity 2.10.3 (http://www.linuxcompatible.org/Metacity_2.10.3_s51685.html), and reverted back in Metacity 2.11.1 (http://www.linuxcompatible.org/Metacity_2.11.1_s51713.html). Would it be sustainable to release a Fedora patch for 2.10.3, as the current 2.10.3 behaviour renders the gnome-panel "Window-List" applet preferences useless ? Created attachment 118629 [details] _NET_ACTIVE_WINDOW patch culprit Seems the attached patch (extract from http://ftp.gnome.org/pub/GNOME/sources/metacity/2.10/metacity-2.10.2-2.10.3.diff.gz) is the culprit. The patch looks to be reverted in http://ftp.gnome.org/pub/GNOME/sources/metacity/2.11/metacity-2.11.0-2.11.1.diff.gz , but I have no idea whether it would patch cleanly against the Fedora metacity-2.10.3 rpm. Another pointer : http://cvs.gnome.org/viewcvs/metacity/src/window.c?r1=1.388&r2=1.389 Hey guys, I've pushed an update for libwnck that may solve your problems. Can you try installing the libwnck rpms from testing: http://download.fedora.redhat.com/pub/fedora/linux/core/updates/testing/4/ and tell me if it addresses your problems? It's fixed for me: [cioby@DustPuppy cioby]$ rpm -q metacity libwnck metacity-2.10.3-1 libwnck-2.10.0-4.fc4 Hi Dumitru, libwnck-2.10.0-4.fc4 or libwnck-2.10.0-4.fc4.1 ? [cioby@DustPuppy cioby]$ rpm -q libwnck libwnck-2.10.0-4.fc4 [cioby@DustPuppy cioby]$ I did an "yum --enablerepo updates-testing update" Maybe my local mirror does not have yet the fc4.1 version Sorry for the spam, it's not fixed, not even with fc4.1 :( Still borked for me, too. this libwnck-2.10.0-4.fc4 do not solve the problem. The patch Didier Moens posted here seem to make this behaviour the designed one. I guess that this means that if the window list wants to keep the window in it's current workspace it must change the current workspace to the native one <i>before</i> activating the window. From the info in libwnck it states that it is responsible for the way pagers act, so I'm guessing that Ray Strode's libwnck was altered to behave like that, but it didn't work. I am really anoyed by this behaviour change. I want to help, where can I get the sources for this libwnck so I could try to do some "good"? I will, as soon as finishing here search the src rpm in the testing area. Just a confirmation : as to be expected, reverting to metacity-2.10.0-2.fc4 reestablishes Window List's "Restore to native workspace" functionality. *** Bug 165859 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. *** Hi guys, So the problem is that metacity 2.10.3 really only works right with libwnck 2.10.3. I've added libwnck 2.10.3 to the testing updates queue (so it should show up later today or tomorrow). When it does, can you guys test it and confirm that it fixes the problem? After that, I'll push the update out of testing. Tested with metacity-2.10.3-1 and libwnck-2.10.3-1 ; Window List "Restore to native workspace" confirmed fixed. Thanks ! Hi Didier, Great. I've queued it for fc4-updates. Works here, too. |
