FS#699 - hiding toplevel windows is not supported User who did this - Uli Schlachter (psychon) ---------- Ok, from XWithdrawWindow() I googled my way through its man page until I reached the ICCCM (InterClient Communication Conventions Manual). Chapter 4 is "Client-to-Window-Manage Communication". Chapter 4.1.4 explains "Changing Window State". For Normal to Withdrawn state, one can read: Normal ? Withdrawn ? The client should unmap the window and follow it with a synthetic UnmapNotify event as described later in this section. And later: Advice to Implementors For compatibility with obsolete clients, window managers should trigger the transi- tion to the Withdrawn state on the real UnmapNotify rather than waiting for the syn- thetic one. They should also trigger the transition if they receive a synthetic Unmap- Notify on a window for which they have not yet received a real UnmapNotify. So ICCCM mandates that we unmap windows when we receive a synthetic UnmapNotify on the root window. This is something we aren't doing currently. So this really is a bug in awesome (and evilwm, dwm, ....). ---------- More information can be found at the following URL: http://awesome.naquadah.org/bugs/index.php?do=details&task_id=699#comment1674 You are receiving this message because you have requested it from the Flyspray bugtracking system.
