Public bug reported: Binary package hint: deskbar-applet
Every time the deskbar window is opened (e.g., via Alt-F3 or clicking the icon), the window is a bit more to the right and to the bottom of the screen than it was the last time. I just crawled the source a bit and found that deskbar uses get_position() on the gtk.Window to the the coordinates, stores these values to gconf, and sets them with move() after re-opening the window. The PyGTK reference points out that this method will most likely fail to restore the original position due to window manager missbehaviour. Compiz, which I am using, also seems to suffer from this. (see http://www.pygtk.org/pygtk2reference/class-gtkwindow.html#method-gtkwindow--get-position ) The reference suggests using true session management, e.g. via GnomeClient. I don't know if this would be a valid option for deskbar, but the hopping window is really not ideal. ** Affects: deskbar-applet (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New -- Deskbar window moves every time it's opened https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/244711 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Desktop Bugs, which is subscribed to deskbar-applet in ubuntu. -- desktop-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs
