Description bl8bl8bl8 2011-04-15 13:07:48 UTC
User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (X11; Linux i686; rv:2.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/4.0

When i plug-in a second monitor on running system, first everything looks just fine (automatic resolution detection works, no flickering, ..) but when i try to start an application by left clicking on it, nothing happens. Only starting with right-click -> new window works. Also maximizing a window by left-clicking on it doesn't work(can only be done by hitting the windows-key or moving the mouse to the upper left corner of the screen)
When i try to reboot the system with plugged-in second monitor the system boots into fallback mode and my primary monitor is flickering.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. plug-in external monitor
2. press windows-key
3. left-click on any application or open window
Actual Results:  
nothing happens

Expected Results:  
applications should start or window should maximize

- i'm running fedora 15 alpha on an acer aspire 1694WLMi notebook with an ATI Mobility Radeon X700 graphics card
- i really don't know if the choosen component in this bug report is right

Comment 1 Christian Krause 2011-05-28 21:18:22 UTC
The first problem (nothing happens when starting application) may be an issue of gnome-shell, the 2nd issue (primary monitor is flickering) may be caused by xorg's ati driver. Re-assigning to gnome-shell for now.

Comment 2 Fedora End Of Life 2012-08-07 17:38:09 UTC
This message is a notice that Fedora 15 is now at end of life. Fedora
has stopped maintaining and issuing updates for Fedora 15. It is
Fedora's policy to close all bug reports from releases that are no
longer maintained. At this time, all open bugs with a Fedora 'version'
of '15' have been closed as WONTFIX.

(Please note: Our normal process is to give advanced warning of this
occurring, but we forgot to do that. A thousand apologies.)

Package Maintainer: If you wish for this bug to remain open because you
plan to fix it in a currently maintained version, feel free to reopen
this bug and simply change the 'version' to a later Fedora version.

Bug Reporter: Thank you for reporting this issue and we are sorry that
we were unable to fix it before Fedora 15 reached end of life. If you
would still like to see this bug fixed and are able to reproduce it
against a later version of Fedora, you are encouraged to click on
"Clone This Bug" (top right of this page) and open it against that
version of Fedora.

Although we aim to fix as many bugs as possible during every release's
lifetime, sometimes those efforts are overtaken by events. Often a
more recent Fedora release includes newer upstream software that fixes
bugs or makes them obsolete.

The process we are following is described here:
