Package: xfce4
Version: 4.0.5-1
Severity: normal
Hi,
I tried to use XFce4 and was very impressed by the speed compared to
KDE. As I'm not really using specificas of KDE, I was thinking of
switching but there is a very annoying "bug" in relation with VMware
(Workstation 4.5.2-8849).
VMware has a Quick Switch mode (Key F11), which is a
fullscreen-lookalike mode, where the title bar disappears and the menu
bar as well with the possibility to pop-up, only a small frame remains
around the guest window, optimizing the space used.
That's how it works at least under KDE, but under XFce4 the title bar
doesn't disappear (the menu can still pop up and down) but the windows
is still calculated in such a way as if it would, so that the bottom of
the guest window disappears below the screen. Quite annoying.
Thanks, Eric

Hi,
I've switched relatively recently to etch and found at last time to test
the issue with xfce4/xfwm4 4.2.3 and the problem has disappeared, so I've
switched to Xfce and I'm now checking if I can survive without KDE... ;-)
Thanks, Eric
