Public bug reported:
The monitor applet in the Gnome Control Center uses a pink widget on
each monitor that shows on the monitor its name. I like this feature.
On my netbook (1024x600 screen), the monitor label widget hides the breadcrumb
of the Gnome Control Center, so I can't go back to the main Gnome Control
Center page. My only option for that is to completely close the Control Center
and reopen it.
Screen capture of my desktop attached. See the pink "Ordinateur portable" at
the up left, that hides the "Tous les paramètres" ("All parameters") part of
the breadcrumb (only "Affichage" ("Display") is accessible).
So the problem is:
- the "monitor label widget" is positioned using an absolute position.
- the "monitor label widget" blocks mouse actions on wdgets below
Suggestions for a fix:
- make the widget translucent
- make the widget inactive (the mouse/keyboard action should go to the window
below
