compiz issue, no ? Yeah, sorry - compiz wasn't a valid component when I first filed it. *** Bug 201621 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. *** This issue is still present in F7test3 LiveCD when opening the Desktop Effects preference and starting compiz that way. Is this issue being resolved in another bug number? The title bar is there and to get at it you have to right click on the windows task bar and select "move". A *really* annoying default window placement. Other than that, compiz seems to work really well on my Radeon X800XL. Good job. I think this is the missing place plugin. That should be fixed by now. Are you still seeing the problem with current rawhide ? Still happens with compiz-0.3.6-7.fc7. Although not on the version compiz-0.3.6-7.fc7 on the Rawhide 20070411.2 LiveCD. The window placement seems proper. So it must be an interaction with another component that got updated for the LiveCD. Haven't been able to check this with a completely updated installed system. "The title bar is there and to get at it you have to right click on the windows task bar and select "move"." Note that you should also be able just alt-click-and-drag anywhere in the window to move it. Still, pretty annoying. It's not clear if this is true for other reporters' systems, but at least in my case, every new window that's opened is also placed exactly at the top-left corner of the screen, with the top under the title bar. Make sure that the place plugin is enabled and working. "Make sure that the place plugin is enabled and working." After googling around a bit, I found a reference to the active_plugins list in gconf under /apps/compiz/general/options--sure enough, place was missing, and adding it fixed the problem. Thanks. Bill, can you still reproduce this bug on the updated supported distro? Actually, with compiz, now I get: compiz (core) - Fatal: No GLXFBConfig for default depth, this isn't going to work. Will futz some more. For me, the title bar hiding problem seems to be resolved in up to date F7 but switching to 3D desktop via "Desktop Effects" dialog still brings all windows from other workspaces to the current one and unminimizes them if they happened to be minimized. I just noticed that Firefox browser windows that were brought in to the current desktop this way have dead text input fields until you minimize and unminimuze them again. Then you can enter text into a form again. Based on the date this bug was created, it appears to have been reported against rawhide during the development of a Fedora release that is no longer maintained. In order to refocus our efforts as a project we are flagging all of the open bugs for releases which are no longer maintained. If this bug remains in NEEDINFO thirty (30) days from now, we will automatically close it. If you can reproduce this bug in a maintained Fedora version (7, 8, or rawhide), please change this bug to the respective version and change the status to ASSIGNED. (If you're unable to change the bug's version or status, add a comment to the bug and someone will change it for you.) Thanks for your help, and we apologize again that we haven't handled these issues to this point. The process we're following is outlined here: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/BugZappers/F9CleanUp We will be following the process here: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/BugZappers/HouseKeeping to ensure this doesn't happen again. This bug has been in NEEDINFO for more than 30 days since feedback was first requested. As a result we are closing it. If you can reproduce this bug in the future against a maintained Fedora version please feel free to reopen it against that version. The process we're following is outlined here: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/BugZappers/F9CleanUp |
Description of problem: I have windows arranged as follows, using metacity: Workspace 1: xchat-gnome, a few terminals Workspace 2: firefox, maximized Workspace 3: rhythmbox, maximized I run 'start-compiz'. 1) All windows are now on the first workspace 2) All windows have been moved up roughly by the height of the titlebar (such that the maximized windows, and any windows near the top of the screen, now have their titlebars offscreen.) Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): metacity-2.15.5-6.1 compiz-0.0.13.fedora1-3
