Hello all, I think I've encountered a race condition with the get_monitor() method of meta window. For context, I'm working on an extension called 'shellshape' and am running gnome 3.4.0. This specific issue is brought up here https://github.com/gfxmonk/shellshape/issues/21
It appears that in callbacks that fire off of the 'window-added' event of a workspace, the value returned by get_monitor is unreliable. I inconsistently get the wrong value back. The value is within the possible range of values (0, or 1 if I have two monitors registered) but the value returned doesn't always reflect which monitor the new window is actually on. If I delay the execution of the get_monitor method (with, say, Mainloop.timeout_add_seconds) then I always get the right answer back from get_monitor. At what point in the window's creation can we be assured that it is fully set up, or really, at what point can we be assured that the value returned by get_monitor is correct? Is this a bug? Or is it expected behavior and we're just using the wrong events?
