Description of problem: gnome-terminal stays on top, hiding system-config-xxxx menus. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): How reproducible: Steps to Reproduce: 1. On Gnome desktop: Applications -> Accessories -> terminal 2. At terminal prompt: # system-config-soundcard Actual results: hidden menus Expected results: on-top menus Additional info: does not happen with "xterm".
This is not a Metacity issue? It's not just system-config-*. The new version opens all X applications launched from the command line under the terminal window. This is very, very inconvenient and actually has had me lauching several instances of applications before I realized where the windows went. If there are lots of windows open in the workspace, finding the newly started app becomes a pain. Is there some sort of desing rationale behind this or is it just a bug? Wouldn't you expect the user to want to _see_ the program she/he started? I launch things from the command line more often than from the menus. I work in a scientific lab and have installed Fedora on two dozen desktops, whose users also work primarily using the command line. I was going to upgrade to FC5 but this is giving me second thoughts. At the very least this 'feature' should be configurable, if it is going to go into FC5.
This is in fact a duplicate of #178389.
Fedora Core 5 and Fedora Core 6 are, as we're sure you've noticed, no longer test releases. We're cleaning up the bug database and making sure important bug reports filed against these test releases don't get lost. It would be helpful if you could test this issue with a released version of Fedora or with the latest development / test release. Thanks for your help and for your patience. [This is a bulk message for all open FC5/FC6 test release bugs. I'm adding myself to the CC list for each bug, so I'll see any comments you make after this and do my best to make sure every issue gets proper attention.]
