Which window manager?

Comment 2 phostetl 2002-10-21 19:26:09 UTC
Default install. Gnome/Sawfish I would guess.

Comment 3 Need Real Name 2002-10-31 03:01:50 UTC
This seems to be quite a 'common' problem as I have it on all machines that I
set up (using gnome2 and metacity, pretty default setup).

Comment 4 Havoc Pennington 2002-11-04 21:10:56 UTC
I have this fixed in latest CVS libwnck/metacity/gnome-panel, in 2.1.x 
series.

Comment 5 Havoc Pennington 2002-12-20 02:27:28 UTC
Should work with rawhide.

Comment 6 phostetl 2003-04-09 13:35:49 UTC
This is still a problem in Red Hat 9. :(

Comment 8 Alexander Larsson 2003-09-10 13:27:19 UTC
This is strange. I just tested in rawhide, and it works for me.

Comment 9 Wayne Schutz 2004-02-14 02:20:03 UTC
Is there a fix for this?  I have the same problem under RH9.

Comment 10 Mark McLoughlin 2004-03-03 21:25:33 UTC
This was definitely fixed in Fedora Core 1

Comment 11 David Thompson 2004-10-12 03:43:25 UTC
This is still a problem in RH9 - Linux localhost.localdomain
