Gtk is refusing to position windows as commanded. I have tested this in the GNOME Shell and the fallback mode. I have tested both setting the window_position property and calling the set_position method. I have tested it with both Python and Vala. I discovered it because the option to "open at mouse" in the GNOME Pie launcher program wasn't doing anything, with the author insisting it was working fine in GNOME Shell on Ubuntu. Thus the bug seems to be specific to Fedora. Test code with PyGObject: from gi.repository import Gtk window = Gtk.Window() window.window_position = Gtk.WindowPosition.MOUSE # or CENTER window.connect('delete-event', Gtk.main_quit) window.show_all() Gtk.main() Same with Vala: // valac --pkg gtk+-3.0 test.vala using Gtk; int main (string[] args) { Gtk.init (ref args); var window = new Window (); window.window_position = WindowPosition.MOUSE; // or CENTER window.destroy.connect (Gtk.main_quit); window.show_all (); Gtk.main (); return 0; } These programs should launch windows at the position of the mouse cursor, or the center of the screen, but instead always position normally, ignoring the programmed position.
The testgtk 'window sizing' example indicates that things work just fine, in my testing.
This message is a reminder that Fedora 16 is nearing its end of life. Approximately 4 (four) weeks from now Fedora will stop maintaining and issuing updates for Fedora 16. It is Fedora's policy to close all bug reports from releases that are no longer maintained. At that time this bug will be closed as WONTFIX if it remains open with a Fedora 'version' of '16'. Package Maintainer: If you wish for this bug to remain open because you plan to fix it in a currently maintained version, simply change the 'version' to a later Fedora version prior to Fedora 16's end of life. Bug Reporter: Thank you for reporting this issue and we are sorry that we may not be able to fix it before Fedora 16 is 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" 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: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/BugZappers/HouseKeeping
Fedora 16 changed to end-of-life (EOL) status on 2013-02-12. Fedora 16 is no longer maintained, which means that it will not receive any further security or bug fix updates. As a result we are closing this bug. If you can reproduce this bug against a currently maintained version of Fedora please feel free to reopen this bug against that version. Thank you for reporting this bug and we are sorry it could not be fixed.
