This is irritating.

The original patch (for firefox) has the following comments usptream from Elijah (https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=223492#c31): ************ >+ if (desktopStartupID.IsEmpty()) { >+ PRUint32 timestamp = GTKToolkit->GetFocusTimestamp(); >+ if (timestamp) { >+ gdk_window_focus(aWindow->window, timestamp); >+ GTKToolkit->SetFocusTimestamp(0); >+ } >+ return; >+ } This block of SetUserTimeAndStartupIDForActivatedWindow() is a little confusing. It doesn't set the user time or the startup id for the activated window. Instead, it sends an "activate me, please" message to the window manager. I understand it's just a workaround when no startup id is available (because either firefox wasn't launched with startup-notification or wasn't built with MOZ_ENABLE_STARTUP_NOTIFICATION), but it'd be nice to have it documented as such. It'd also be good to verify in testing that this block of code isn't being executed (i.e. that startup id is non-empty), since it is just a workaround. ***************** I find it odd that the supposed 'workaround' part of the code is what's causing the problem in my testing.

The patch adds configury for using libstartupnotification, and ifdef'd code to use libsn. We then build moz without sn support. If it's functioning, it's completely by accident.

Thanks, Colin! Yes, that works well for me so far. :) Reply at: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/pidgin/+bug/207744/comments/23 ------------------------------------------------------------------------ On 2007-10-19T01:15:11+00:00 Colin wrote: (In reply to comment #22) > > The patch adds configury for using libstartupnotification, and ifdef'd code to > use libsn.

Ok, I'm at home so I can't actually test this with my rawhide computer, but from looking at the patch again, the section you identified earlier (which calls gdk_window_focus which ultimately causes the focus event) is the source of the behavior under discussion. The startup notification specification if supported correctly would make Firefox display a progress status on first launch, but this (to me) is not the most useful part of the patch. The most useful part is the behavior that when one clicks on a link in an external program, the web browser appears and displays the link. Some people feel that behavior wasn't right for multiple desktops (and the metacity patch addresses this), but please when testing things, try the single workspace case. The expected behavior is that the browser appears; it should not pulse as in comment #9. This is the way clicking on links works on other platforms, and is the most sensible thing I believe for most situations in the single-workspace case. There might be some more special cases such as feed readers (liferea?) where one wants to click a number of links to "queue" urls; I am open to discussion around those. Probably the right solution for them will be to have the ability at link-click time whether or not you want to see it.

Also, bear in mind this patch is already upstreamed and will be in the Firefox 3 release; I am not yet sure whether it will be in the 2.0.0.7 stream.

Approximately 30 (thirty) days from now Fedora will stop maintaining and issuing updates for Fedora 7. It is Fedora's policy to close all bug reports from releases that are no longer maintained. At that time this bug will be closed as WONTFIX if it remains open with a Fedora 'version' of '7'. Package Maintainer: If you wish for this bug to remain open because you plan to fix it in a currently maintained version, simply change the 'version' to a later Fedora version prior to Fedora 7's end of life. Bug Reporter: Thank you for reporting this issue and we are sorry that we may not be able to fix it before Fedora 7 is end of life. If you would still like to see this bug fixed and are able to reproduce it against a later version of Fedora please change the 'version' of this bug. If you are unable to change the version, please add a comment here and someone will do it for you. Although we aim to fix as many bugs as possible during every release's lifetime, sometimes those efforts are overtaken by events. Often a more recent Fedora release includes newer upstream software that fixes bugs or makes them obsolete. If possible, it is recommended that you try the newest available Fedora distribution to see if your bug still exists.
