Using debian unstable - ion3 20050116-1
I think I'm seeing a bug with a focus issue in the workspace
notification popup "act: <workspacename> that ions puts up in the
top/left corner, altough it could be because of the way ion3 is
implemented. But here is what I notice anyway:
I'm using multiple workspace, and I run gaim in one workspace
defined this way:
-- Gaim settings
-- use a seperate window for buddy list and conversations
-- put the buddy pounce notification on the console
defwinprop{
class = "Gaim",
target = "gaim"
}
defwinprop{
class = "Gaim",
role = "buddy_list",
target = "gaim"
}
defwinprop{
class = "Gaim",
role = "conversation",
switchto = true,
target = "gaim-conversation"
}
I use the "message notifier" plugin, which sets the "URGENT"
window manager hint and prepends the number of messages awaiting
in the title bar. Now when this happens, I see that ion puts
a notification at the top/left of the workspace saying there's
activity waiting for me in the other workspace, but that little box
saying "acc:workspace<x>" that pops up, gets the focus sometimes, which
is annoying, it mostly happens if the window that I was focused in was
the left/top one as well. I think this might be a bug due to the fact
that I use "switchto", but only the window should get focus within its
frame, but not lose my focus in another workspace, make sense?
Another feature that would be nice, is if I could also force that "ion
workspace notification" feature to happen with defwinprop. I'd like to
use it for example when my evolution alarm dialog opens up, so that I
know that I need to go check that workspace. When gaim sets the
"urgent" hint for that window, the activity notifier of ion doesn't go
away until I go to that specific workspace and that's what I'd like to
control too. I'm not sure if that's the default behavior for new
windows, etc.
Let me know what you think...
