RHEL Engineering is moving the tracking of its product development work on RHEL 6 through RHEL 9 to Red Hat Jira (issues.redhat.com). If you're a Red Hat customer, please continue to file support cases via the Red Hat customer portal. If you're not, please head to the "RHEL project" in Red Hat Jira and file new tickets here. Individual Bugzilla bugs in the statuses "NEW", "ASSIGNED", and "POST" are being migrated throughout September 2023. Bugs of Red Hat partners with an assigned Engineering Partner Manager (EPM) are migrated in late September as per pre-agreed dates. Bugs against components "kernel", "kernel-rt", and "kpatch" are only migrated if still in "NEW" or "ASSIGNED". If you cannot log in to RH Jira, please consult article #7032570. That failing, please send an e-mail to the RH Jira admins at rh-issues@redhat.com to troubleshoot your issue as a user management inquiry. The email creates a ServiceNow ticket with Red Hat. Individual Bugzilla bugs that are migrated will be moved to status "CLOSED", resolution "MIGRATED", and set with "MigratedToJIRA" in "Keywords". The link to the successor Jira issue will be found under "Links", have a little "two-footprint" icon next to it, and direct you to the "RHEL project" in Red Hat Jira (issue links are of type "https://issues.redhat.com/browse/RHEL-XXXX", where "X" is a digit). This same link will be available in a blue banner at the top of the page informing you that that bug has been migrated.

Description Vladimir Benes 2013-04-17 13:37:53 UTC 
Description of problem:
I would really love to close apps via bottom panel with right click and close. Whole functionality like if you right click application top bar should be there. I will switch this to gnome-shell-extensions.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
gnome-classic-session-3.8.0-1.el7.noarch
gnome-shell-3.8.0.1-2.el7.x86_64
gnome-shell-extension-default-min-max-3.8.0-1.el7.noarch
gnome-shell-extension-static-workspaces-3.8.0-1.el7.noarch
gnome-shell-extension-common-3.8.0-1.el7.noarch
gnome-shell-extension-window-list-3.8.0-1.el7.noarch
gnome-shell-3.8.0.1-2.el7.x86_64
gnome-shell-extension-apps-menu-3.8.0-1.el7.noarch
gnome-shell-extension-alternate-tab-3.8.0-1.el7.noarch
gnome-shell-extension-launch-new-instance-3.8.0-1.el7.noarch
gnome-shell-extension-places-menu-3.8.0-1.el7.noarch

Hmm, not sure. Putting a menu there will conflict with grouping.
Comment 3 Matthias Clasen 2013-04-29 09:47:37 UTC 
You can enable grouping by running gnome-shell-extension-prefs and selecting the window list in the extension combo. Currently, it just overs always and never as choices, but we will add an automatic option, and make that the default.

ok, I've tried to enable grouping. It works quite well but it lacks a bunch of functionality that for example Windows os has. In Win 7, you can close whole group via right click on grouped item. You can close every single grouped item as well by going into group and right click + close or clicking corner x in app thumbnail right top corner. That's just my experience from Win. If we want to steal some Windows sys admins I think we should preserve basic panel functionality there.

Comment 8 Matthias Clasen 2013-10-28 22:35:50 UTC 
As part of this bug fix, we ended up building gnome-shell-extensions 3.8.4 instead of the version that was in rhel7 trees, 3.8.3, since it was already in dist-git. 

Looking at the changes between 3.8.3 and 3.8.4:

https://git.gnome.org/browse/gnome-shell-extensions/log/?h=gnome-3-8

the delta is very small. It comes down to translation updates, and a few bug fixes that are good for classic mode in rhel7:

* places-menu: null-check g_volume_get_identifier()

  Not all volumes have the 'class' identifier (for example MTP doesn't), and 
  we can't apply indexOf on null. 

* apps-menu: don't store the hot corner at creation

  HotCorners become invalid when the xrandr configuration changes, so instead 
  of storing it fetch it directly from layoutManager when needed. 
  https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=702038 

* user-theme: look for gnome-shell themes in ~/.local/share too

  Just like we look in XDG_DATA_DIRS, we should honor XDG_DATA_HOME as well.
  For compatibility reasons, we look in ~/.themes first, then ~/.local/share, 
  then /usr/share. 


Therefore, I'd like to stay with this build. Adding Rebase keyword to reflect this, and re-asking for acks.

The right-click functions have been successfully added in gnome-shell-3.8.4-21.el7.x86_64. I am able to close, maximize and minimize via right clicking on the app from the taskbar.

Verified.
