From Bugzilla Helper: User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.7.8) Gecko/20050511 Firefox/1.0.4 Description of problem: Simple X programs sometimes come up without a window title bar. This could be related to bug 126571. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): metacity-2.8.6-2.1 How reproducible: Sometimes Steps to Reproduce: 1.Download the sample X tutorial from here: http://tronche.com/gui/x/xlib-tutorial/xlib-tutorial.tar.gz 2.Compile prog-2 (g++ prog-2.cc -L/usr/X11R6/lib -lX11 -lm -o prog-2) 3.Run prog-2 (./prog-2) 4.A window will come up with a line drawn in it. The window will stay up for 10 seconds and then exit. Actual Results: Sometimes the window title bar is missing. On my machine, it happens about 25% of the time (while filing out this report, I did a trial run and it happened 2 out of 8 runs). On other machines, I've seen it happen more than half of the time. Expected Results: The title bar is always there. Additional info: I don't seem to be the only one having this problem. When googling around to see if anyone else was having the same problems I was having (keywords: title bar missing metacity), I came across the following thread in a mailing list for another piece of software: https://stat.ethz.ch/pipermail/r-help/2005-February/064549.html
hi i have the same problem here after updating to metacity-2.11.1-1 running rawhide. sometimes an application window comes up without title bar, the app window flashes, moves some inches on the screen and then title bar is drawn (but not always). annoying.
Ah, this looks like it's been fixed in 2.11.2. Any chance of getting this into rawhide sooner than later? From the release notes: - Fix an easy to trigger crasher in 2.11.1 caused by unneeded debugging spew (Elijah) [#311819] That bug reference will of course be for bugzilla.gnome.org.
Sure
Should be in tomorrow's rawhide.
todays rawhide update fixed it for me. thanks!
