Description of problem: Sometimes Gnome doesn't "track" (stated as untracked in looking glass) the windows of applications. This ends in wrong title ("gnome-terminal" instead of "Terminal") low resolution icons (really sucks in Alt-Tab), non-grouped windows (windows of same application are no longer merged in Alt-Tab and Dash) and non-linked icons in dash (i got two terminal icons, becuase i've terminal in my favourite apps) Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): 3.6.1-3.fc18 How reproducible: random, but happened two times till yesterday. if it "started" only way to stop is to restart gnome
How to reproduce (i think): Change hostname at runtime (happens as i get a hostname when connecting to university wifi) gnome won't track windows started with the new hostname. When restarting gnome-shell (alt-f2 r) only windows started with new hostname are tracked, but not those ones with old hostname
I just ran into this and that appears to be the issue. I changed the hostname and when I restored my firefox session, all the windows were shown as separate applications. I just now restarted gnome-shell and it's fixed. All the firefox windows are now grouped in one icon for the dock and alt-tab.
This message is a reminder that Fedora 18 is nearing its end of life. Approximately 4 (four) weeks from now Fedora will stop maintaining and issuing updates for Fedora 18. It is Fedora's policy to close all bug reports from releases that are no longer maintained.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 '18'. 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 18's end of life. Thank you for reporting this issue and we are sorry that we may not be able to fix it before Fedora 18 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 change the 'version' to a later Fedora version prior to Fedora 18's end of life. 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.
Fedora 18 changed to end-of-life (EOL) status on 2014-01-14. Fedora 18 is no longer maintained, which means that it will not receive any further security or bug fix updates.
