In case anyone is interested, the EPEL7 repo has now been updated with 
the fixed version of marco

I reported this as an EPEL bug - and a new build with the fix is 
currently in the EPEL7 testing repo :

Thanks - given that it works OK on F28, I had a look through the Marco 
bugs and commits and came across:

  https://github.com/mate-desktop/marco/issues/324

which appears to describe the problem and using the patch at:

 
https://github.com/mate-desktop/marco/commit/59756b8d77dfbd0948d7e4d3349477173aa2728a

does indeed appear to fix the problem when 'compositing-manager' is set 
to 'true' ... which is good

I tested with one environment where I have two VMs under oVirt 4.2 and I
connect to them using remote-viewer and spice in full screen mode.
One is a fully updated CentOS 7 VM
One is a (not fully up to date) Fedora 28 VM

Both using Mate as DE. On CentOS 7 Mate 1.16.2. On F28 1.20.1
I confirm on both the setting is true and I never tricked with it, so it
should be the default.


Below is a PyQT4 python script that shows the issues:

I confirm exactly your behaviour with CentOS 7. The toggle makes the drop
down to remain expanded and if I move the window the drop down remains
where it was.
With F28 all is ok and as expected

I confirm no transaprent background on both and correct behaviour on both

Not tried this

[CentOS] CentOS7/Mate Qt bugs/features?

2018-06-15 Thread James Pearson
We have recently migrated from CentOS6/Gnome to CentOS7/Mate - and have 
noticed 'glitches' with some Qt applications that appears to be linked 
to the 'org.mate.Marco.general' 'compositing-manager' setting - and 
wondered how we 'fix' the issue ...

Below is a PyQT4 python script that shows the issues:

1. With 'compositing-manager' set to 'true' (I believe the default setting):

  gsettings set org.mate.Marco.general compositing-manager true

Running the script and the window background is transparent - which is fine

However, if the pull down menu is selected and the 'Toggle' button 
pressed, the menu stays on the screen - and stays put even if the window 
is moved

2. With 'compositing-manager' set to 'false' :

  gsettings set org.mate.Marco.general compositing-manager false

Running the script and the window background is no longer transparent - 
which is not good, but the pull down menu issue is fine ...


We're using Nvidia cards with the Nvidia drivers - but I can also 
reproduce the issue on a Vmware player instance

It would be good to know if anyone else can reproduce this with Mate ?

Using CentOS7/Gnome3 works as expected (transparent background and pull 
down menu is fine)

Anyone have any idea what the problem(s) might be and how to fix it/them ?

Thanks

James Pearson
