Description of problem: Screen lock and sleep moves all windows from the external HDMI display to the internal display. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): 2.20.10-2.fc17 (assuming xorg-x11-drv-intel, could be kernel, could be gnome-shell) Steps to Reproduce: 1. Connect external HDMI screen to laptop. 2. Enable both displays (automatic after first configuration) 3. Start one or more applications. 4. Put at least one application window on the HDMI display. 5. Lock the screen (gnome-shell -> user -> lock screen) 6. Wait for power saving sleep 7. Wake up laptop 8. Unlock. Actual results: All the application windows have moved from the external HDMI to the laptop screen. Expected results: Application windows stay where they were before the screen lock. Additional info: I've noticed that the HDMI display takes a few seconds longer to start than the laptop screen. HDMI likely has to renegotiate after sleep, causing the application windows to move.
Yeah, that'll happen. Output connections come and go across suspend. Restoring window position is gnome's job in any event, not X's. Reassigning.
This just became a *lot* more annoying in Fedora 19 / Gnome 3.8. Now the screen goes into sleep as soon as you lock the screen, which means this now affects me multiple times a day. I lock my screen at work when I go for coffee, when I go get rid of coffee, ... Previously it would only happen after long meetings.
This message is a reminder that Fedora 17 is nearing its end of life. Approximately 4 (four) weeks from now Fedora will stop maintaining and issuing updates for Fedora 17. It is Fedora's policy to close all bug reports from releases that are no longer maintained.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 '17'. 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 17'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 17 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 17'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.
As per comment #2 this is still a problem in Fedora 19.
This appears fixed in Fedora 20 Beta
Sorry: the near-instant toggle of move-windows is gone in Fedora 20. Long-term power off (> 30 minutes?) still moves windows. This does mean it's a lot less annoying than it was in F19.
