Hi, On Fedora 15 Gnome shell 3 is installed by default. They have done the "dumbing down" process, and this means that application windows show only an X at top right corner; the other minimized / maximize icons, and the top-left window menu are not shown.
This introduces a problem with dvbcut with respect to the Export log window. With the gnome change, it hides the: - left window menu icon - log title text - the X close icon (top-right). see: <http://members.iinet.net.au/~timmsy/dvbcut/dvbcut.under_gnome_3.no_close.png> As it stands, when the export completes, the lower right cancel button changes from enabled to disabled, and there is no visible way to exit the dialog, including clicking the main window X (which this dialog seems to be a modal child of). If the user knows to try, they can right click anywhere along the dialog title bar and choose close. (The other effect of the "dumbing down" is that the dialog appears at top centre of the main window, immediately below the main window title bar. Which is OK, but you can't move it sideways to see what is hidden by the dialog (doesn't really matter to me.)) If you only left click the bar, and then drag, then the dialog stays attached to the main window and both the main window and the dialog move as one. A proposed resolution for this would be to either: - add a separate Close button to the right of the Cancel button. This would be disabled until the export completes, and would become enabled as the cancel becomes disabled. - modify the cancel button to change it's text from cancel to close when export completes, and instead activate the close handler. This could also have a facecolour change from say yellow to green, perhaps ? I think either should work to simply solve the problem, and would require fairly minimal work (which I'm having a look at anyway). Which method would give the best UI given these changes to the gnome desktop ? ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Fulfilling the Lean Software Promise Lean software platforms are now widely adopted and the benefits have been demonstrated beyond question.
