Description of problem: When hitting the 'logo' key, then typing 'gnome-terminal' and hitting enter, the terminal comes up, but focus returns to the firefox window I already had open. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): gnome-shell-3.0.0.2-2.fc15.x86_64 How reproducible: 100% Steps to Reproduce: 1. Open firefox 2. place the window in the middle of the desktop 3. hit the 'logo' key 4. type 'terminal' and hit enter Actual results: firefox window has focus Expected results: gnome-terminal window has focus Additional info: Not sure if it matters, but I have two displays. One is my laptop, the other an external monitor. Both applications I launched were displayed on the external monitor.
Is this reliably reproducible? For all programs or just gnome-terminal? (Can't reproduce it here in some quick experimentation.) Do you get a notification "GNOME Terminal is ready" ? Can you attach the output of 'gconftool-2 -R /apps/metacity'
Created attachment 500518 [details] Output of gconftool-2 -R /apps/metacity Yes, sometimes focus sticks within most recently opened gnome-terminal. I have encountered this problem, perhaps once or twice per day with FC15-Beta, 2.6.38.6-26.rc1.fc15.x86_64 Ctrl-Alt-Backspace logout / login seems expedient.
I'm no longer experiencing this issue after upgrading to 3.0.1-4.fc15.x86_64. Alan, is it resolved for you as well?
Yes; I'm no longer encountering this problem with gnome-shell-3.0.2-4.fc15.x86_64 Thanks, Jeffrey!
