[Bug 260939] Re: Window list missing items on second monitor
I should maybe mention that I don't get this behavior on my work computer which I've just upgraded to Ubuntu, so I think it's safe to close this bug. My work computer is also running Ubuntu 8.04, this time on an ATI Radeon HD 2600XT. The setup is essentially identical as I followed the same configuration notes, but one key difference may be that I didn't need to mess about with graphics drivers so much this time. My installation steps were simply based on: # Click System - Administration - Hardware drivers and install the non free ati drivers # Then configure with: * aticonfig --dtop=horizontal * aticonfig --initial --desktop-setup=horizontal --overlay-on=1 --ovt=Xv -- Window list missing items on second monitor https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/260939 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Desktop Bugs, which is a bug assignee. -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs
[Bug 260939] Re: Window list missing items on second monitor
Got another comment to add to this after spotting something today. If I swap to a different workspace, all of my windows then appear on the window list on the primary monitor (and disappear from the new list on the second monitor). So items on the second monitor only disappear from the window list if I'm currently viewing the workspace they're on... -- Window list missing items on second monitor https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/260939 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Desktop Bugs, which is a bug assignee. -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs

[Bug 260939] Re: Window list missing items on second monitor
I've just found it's also possible for the Window Selector to give the wrong list of items. If I select a program on the second monitor, then click on the Window Selector, it shows the contents of both screens. If however I then right-click on the Window Selector, then left-click on it again, it now shows only the contents of the first monitor (where the window selector panel is located). So far alt-tab has proven reliable, but it's very disconcerting to be not quite sure of what programs are running. -- Window list missing items on second monitor https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/260939 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Desktop Bugs, which is subscribed to gnome-panel in ubuntu. -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs

RE: [Bug 260939] Re: Window list missing items on second monitor
It's reproducible every time for me right now, simply moving windows to the
second screen makes them disappear from the window list.
I've got detailed notes on how I configured Ubuntu if they are needed.
The basic setup is that I'm running on an ATI Radeon x1950, I installed
the Ubuntu ATI drivers, then the latest ATI drivers, and configured it
for dual screen using the following aticonfig commands:
aticonfig --dtop=horizontal
aticonfig --initial --desktop-setup=horizontal --overlay-on=1 --ovt=Xv
If you have any problems reproducing this let me know, I plan to re-
install Ubuntu anyway soon to check that my notes are accurate, so it's
no problem to test that it's 100% reproducible.
Wnckprop results from a console window on the second monitor are:
Name: Bottom Expanded Edge Panel
Icon Name: Bottom Expanded Edge Panel
Icons: set
On Workspace: 0 ('Desk 1')
On Screen: 0 (Window Manager: compiz)
Window Type: dock or panel
Geometry (x, y, width, height): 0, 1000, 1280, 24
Class Group: Gnome-panel
XID: 16777219
PID: 5958
Session ID: unset
State: sticky, skip pager, skip tasklist
Possible Actions: make above, unmake above, make below, unmake below
I've attached a screenshot of my entire desktop, showing the windows on
each monitor, and clearly showing the difference between the window list
and the window selector.

Status in “libwnck” source package in Ubuntu: Incomplete
Bug description:
Windows on my second monitor don't appear in the 'Window List', although if I
add the 'Window Selector' I can find them, and Alt-Tab works ok too. This is
a real nuisance, especially if I have a window minimised as they seem to
disappear. I can't find any setting to correct this, nor anything on any
forum indicating this has been seen before.
I'm running Ubuntu 8.04, with ATI graphics drivers powering two monitors, and
Compiz enabled. I think the graphics drivers are set to use 'overlay' mode
on the second screen, but I'm not entirely sure what that's needed for.
It also looks like dragging windows from the second monitor to the first
causes odd effects. I have evolution mail running all the time so it's the
first program on my window list. If I drag a program from my second monitor
to the first, it can occasionally cause evolution to disappear from the
window list. I haven't been able to reliably reproduce that yet, so I'll add
more information if I ever get to that stage.

the screenshot shows you don't have a tasklist on the second screen, does it work correctly if you add one there? -- Window list missing items on second monitor https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/260939 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Desktop Bugs, which is a bug assignee. -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs
[Bug 260939] Re: Window list missing items on second monitor
Aaah, didn't know I could do that (spot the recent windows convert). Ok, if I add a new panel on the 2nd screen, and put a window list on there it shows the programs I have on that monitor. That does appear to be a usable workaround so I'll keep testing that and let you know if I spot any problems. Long term though I'd still rather have a single window list that shows all the programs I have open. There's an option to include all workspaces, I'd very much like an option to include all monitors too. -- Window list missing items on second monitor https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/260939 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Desktop Bugs, which is a bug assignee. -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs
