Description John Sefler 2012-01-23 17:09:56 UTC
Description of problem:
As a follow-up to the fix in bug 772921, when subscription-manager is already running and in a minimized state (or simply rendered under other gnome applications), a click of rhsm-icon or a terminal invocation of subscription-manager-gui, or use of the Applications> System Tools> Red Hat Subscription Manager should raise the first instance of subscription-manager-gui to the forefront.

Currently the first instance of subscription-manager-gui remains out of site.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
[root@jsefler-onprem-5server ~]# rpm -q subscription-manager-gnome
subscription-manager-gnome-0.99.4-1.git.9.de97915.el5

Comment 1 William Poteat 2012-06-18 19:54:58 UTC
Subcription-manager 1.0.3-1 reports that the gui is already running in the CLI.
The menu start does not start a new window, but it does not yet push the window to the front.

Comment 2 James Bowes 2012-09-24 15:00:11 UTC
Pushing off till next release.

bonus implmentation idea:

Add a function to the dbus service the gui implements that tells it to request focus. If we detect someone already owns this service, make that call.

Comment 3 RHEL Program Management 2012-12-14 08:48:14 UTC
This request was not resolved in time for the current release.
Red Hat invites you to ask your support representative to
propose this request, if still desired, for consideration in
the next release of Red Hat Enterprise Linux.

    784056: Raise a running instance of the GUI to the forefront.

Comment 5 Bryan Kearney 2013-02-08 17:18:51 UTC
Fixed in the 1.8.2 version of subscription-manager or python-rhsm

Comment 6 Sharath Dwaral 2013-03-13 16:17:00 UTC
# rpm -qa | egrep "subscription-manager|python-rhsm"
subscription-manager-firstboot-1.8.4-1.el7.x86_64
python-rhsm-1.8.7-1.el7.x86_64
subscription-manager-1.8.4-1.el7.x86_64
subscription-manager-debuginfo-1.8.4-1.el7.x86_64
subscription-manager-gui-1.8.4-1.el7.x86_64
subscription-manager-migration-1.8.4-1.el7.x86_64


1. When subscription-manager-gui is already running and it either minimized or in the background, clicking on subscription manager icon brings the window to foreground.

2. When subscription-manager-gui is already running and it either minimized or in the background, running subscription-manager-gui on the terminal displays the following message and the window is brought to foreground (behing the terminal window which is the current active window)

# subscription-manager-gui
subscription-manager-gui is already running

Verified
