Description Bojan Smojver 2013-06-12 03:51:43 UTC

Description of problem:
I have a remote session running F-19. It is accessed via xrdp. The local machine is also Fedora (18). The keyboard shortcuts apply locally.

New behaviour of gnome-shell is to expect "pressure" in order to display notification bar. However, the "pressure" cannot be applied, because the remote session is running in its own window of the local Gnome session. Given that overview no longer displays notification bar and keyboard shortcuts obviously don't work (they stay locally), there is no way to see notification bar in the remote session.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
gnome-shell-3.8.3-1.fc19.i686

How reproducible:
Always.

Steps to Reproduce:
1. See above.

Actual results:
Notification bar not accessible.

Expected results:
Notification bar was visible in overview. This is a regression since F-18.

No way using GUI, that is. Custom shortcuts do work.

Comment 2 Bojan Smojver 2013-06-12 23:41:31 UTC

I'm going to reopen this. Just because a keyboard shortcut can be assigned, doesn't mean that there should be no GUI way to get to notification bar in the remote session.

Comment 3 Fedora End Of Life 2015-01-09 22:09:06 UTC

This message is a notice that Fedora 19 is now at end of life. Fedora 
has stopped maintaining and issuing updates for Fedora 19. It is 
Fedora's policy to close all bug reports from releases that are no 
longer maintained. Approximately 4 (four) weeks from now this bug will
be closed as EOL if it remains open with a Fedora 'version' of '19'.

Package Maintainer: If you wish for this bug to remain open because you
plan to fix it in a currently maintained version, simply change the 'version' 
to a later Fedora version.

Thank you for reporting this issue and we are sorry that we were not 
able to fix it before Fedora 19 is end of life. If you would still like 
to see this bug fixed and are able to reproduce it against a later version 
of Fedora, you are encouraged  change the 'version' to a later Fedora 
version prior this bug is closed as described in the policy above.

Although we aim to fix as many bugs as possible during every release's 
lifetime, sometimes those efforts are overtaken by events. Often a 
more recent Fedora release includes newer upstream software that fixes 
bugs or makes them obsolete.

Comment 4 Fedora End Of Life 2015-02-18 13:56:20 UTC

Fedora 19 changed to end-of-life (EOL) status on 2015-01-06. Fedora 19 is
no longer maintained, which means that it will not receive any further
security or bug fix updates. As a result we are closing this bug.

If you can reproduce this bug against a currently maintained version of
Fedora please feel free to reopen this bug against that version. If you
are unable to reopen this bug, please file a new report against the
current release. If you experience problems, please add a comment to this
bug.

Thank you for reporting this bug and we are sorry it could not be fixed.
