Description of problem: When terminal (gnome-terminal in my case) is open using nautilus-open-terminal (i.e. right click on desktop, then click "Open Terminal"), the terminal window is visible in Window List on all workspaces. This does not happen when terminal is open using the menu. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): 0.3.6-2.fc6 How reproducible: Always. Steps to Reproduce: 1. Update FC6 to latest compiz. 2. Run Gnome desktop with compiz. Actual results: Terminal visible in Window List on all workspaces. Expected results: Previously, terminal open through the menu and via nautilus-open-terminal would behave the same. Additional info: I'm filing this as a compiz bug, because that how I discovered the behaviour, but it may as well be a bug in Window List or something else. Not exactly sure.

If terminal is switched to xterm, this problem does not occur. Maybe something to do with the way gnome-terminal is launched from nautilus-open-terminal (nautilus-open-terminal.c): ---------------------------------- if (g_str_has_prefix (terminal_exec, "gnome-terminal")) { dfile = lookup_in_data_dirs ("applications/gnome-terminal.desktop"); } else { dfile = NULL; } g_shell_parse_argv (terminal_exec, NULL, &argv, NULL); display_str = NULL; old_display_str = g_getenv ("DISPLAY"); screen = g_object_get_data (G_OBJECT (item), "NautilusOpenTerminal::screen"); if (screen != NULL) { display_str = gdk_screen_make_display_name (screen); g_setenv ("DISPLAY", display_str, TRUE); } if (dfile != NULL) { if (working_directory != NULL) { if (chdir (working_directory) != 0) g_assert_not_reached(); } ditem = gnome_desktop_item_new_from_file (dfile, 0, NULL); gnome_desktop_item_set_string (ditem, "Exec", terminal_exec); gnome_desktop_item_set_launch_time (ditem, gtk_get_current_event_time ()); gnome_desktop_item_launch (ditem, NULL, GNOME_DESKTOP_ITEM_LAUNCH_USE_CURRENT_DIR, NULL); gnome_desktop_item_unref (ditem); g_free (dfile); } else { g_spawn_async (working_directory, argv, NULL, G_SPAWN_SEARCH_PATH, NULL, NULL, NULL, NULL); } ---------------------------------- The dfile is only used if the name is "gnome-terminal", which then causes Gnome functionality to launch the app, rather than regular process spawn. Maybe something needs to be told to gnome_desktop_item_launch() in order to not do that? BTW, I can't reach the nautilus-open-terminal home page at http://manny.cluecoder.org/packages/nautilus-open-terminal/. I get a DNS error. Not sure where the new home page for this software lives...

Does anybody on the Cc: list still use FC6 and could reproduce this bug?
yes
This is also a problem in F7. Not sure about F8 - haven't tried.
Fixed in F8. Feel free to close.
Thanks for letting us know.
