Description of problem: In Red Hat 7.3, with galeon set up to open new tabs instead of windows, it would still open a new window if the current one(s) belonged to a different workspace (when issuing 'galeon' on the command line, using GNOME URL open function etc.), so that you'd end up with one window per workspace. In Red Hat 9, this functionality is gone. Galeon will always add a tabs to the same window, which is very confusing when it belongs to a different workspace, as it looks like the URL open operation did nothing. What the correct behaviour is, is debatable, but the current one is defintely wrong. Galeon should either open one window per workspace as it did in the past, move the window to the current workspace when another tab was inserted, or make its window sticky. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): 1.2.7-3 How reproducible: Every time Steps to Reproduce: 1. Set up galeon to open new tabs instead of new window 2. Start galeon (click launcher or issue 'galeon' on the command line.) 3. Repeat 4. Switch to a different workspace 5. Issue 'galeon' again Actual results: 2: Galeon window opened. 3: New tab added to the same window. 5: 3rd tab added to orignal window, which you won't see, becuase it's on a different workspace Expected results: 2: Galeon window opened. 3: New tab added to the same window. 5: Another galeon window opened for the current workspace - or - 3rd tab added to orignal window, and window made visible on current workspace.
We aren't even shipping galeon right now, and I'm not going to go back to RH 9 to fix this. I would suggest reporting this upstream to the galeon maintainers to try to get it fixed.
