It is well know that if you want to close a window, you go to its top-right corner, and click the X button. If you want to adjust the volume, you go to the top-right corner, and select the volume you want. Annoyingly, compiz overrides all of this and gives me a thumbnail of every window on my desktop instead.
Created attachment 161300 [details] compiz screenshot Is this the effect you're referring to? You can change what triggers this by clearing the gconf key /apps/compiz/plugins/scale/allscreens/options/initiate_edge.
Yes, this is it. My bug is more that compiz shouldn't overload existing behaviour. It could achieve the same thing with a keyboard shortcut or an applet for example.
So, the problem here is that you want to change default configuration of compiz? Just to be sure we are on the same page.
Either change the default behaviour of compiz, or make it a policy that nothing that ever needs to be clicked on is allowed to use the top right corner of the screen..
OK, so then I thnik this bug should be resolved upstream as it clearly does not belong to distribution bugzilla. Please file a bug report in the freedesktop bugzilla located at http://bugs.freedesktop.org in the "xorg" product, "app/compiz" component. Once you've filed your bug report upstream, if you paste the new bug URL here, Red Hat will continue to track the issue in the centralized upstream bug tracker, and will review any bug fixes that become available for consideration in future updates. Setting status to NEEDINFO, and awaiting upstream bug report URL for tracking. Thanks in advance.
I'm not going to report this upstream. I took the time to report this bug, not to tediously replicate the information into another bug tracker. Computers are for that. It should be automated by now (by ages ago).
We've changed the default setting and compiz no longer defaults to this behaviour. If you still see it after updating to the newest compiz, unset the key as described in comment #1 or to reset the compiz settings to the default, do gconftool-2 --recursive-unset /apps/compiz Please note that this is a per-user setting, and the above fixes only work per-user, not system-wide. If that doesn't help, please reopen the bug and attach /etc/gconf/schemas/compiz-scale.schemas and the output of gconftool-2 -R /apps/compiz Thanks!
