See also upstream, https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=649680 nice comment there, "Also, I'm not supporting running g-t under kde; so try if this is reproducible using either gnome-shell, or metacity (with compositing disabled); otherwise it's NOTGNOME." doesn't exactly encourage me to want to spend time on this. See also bug against Xfwm4 https://bugzilla.xfce.org/show_bug.cgi?id=7445 whose maintainer said: "It's a bug either in VTE or gnome-terminal which sets its size increment and size hints in such a way that the size is not a multiple of the increments. A well behaved window manager will resize the window to match the size increments specified and gnome-terminal will try to resize again, thus causing a loop between the window manager and the app. But the bug is in gnome-terminal (or in VTE, dunno), and not in the window manager. The same happens in KDE's kwin. I have relaxed the rules in xfwm4 to avoid this (I think committed that in git, not sure), but the bug lies in the app itself, and not in the window manager." so, theoretically kwin could relax the rules too similar to what's referenced in https://bugzilla.xfce.org/show_bug.cgi?id=4728#c16 , but I think we can all agree the ideal situation would be to fix the real problem, and avoid workarounds (which can have side-effects long-term) found relevant xfwm4 commits, http://git.xfce.org/xfce/xfwm4/commit/?h=xfce-4.8&id=bf911e27371e49344297f9c0c1b24b953f3c2b03 http://git.xfce.org/xfce/xfwm4/commit/?h=xfce-4.8&id=41ce9e6b77ce2b601cc6cec46d29a6c59cebde82 So, given the history of xfwm4 workarounds causing other problems, and gnome-terminal upstream * not acknowledging the bug to date * claiming to not support gnome-terminal outside of gnome I'm going to say there's not much left for us to do here, except * suggest you not use gnome-terminal outside of gnome * hope that gnome-terminal upstream comes to their senses someday reassigning to gnome-terminal, marking closed->upstream (feel free to correct me if any of comments were in error, and re-open if there's any intention to address this downstream in fedora, rather than upstream gnome-terminal). |
