Re: [Bug 271343] Re: Gnome panel bugs with secondary monitor

[h3]

I can confirm that this bug is also reproducible on Intrepid Ibex.

And I filled the bug report for gnome:
http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=562603

 does anybody still get the issue and could send the bug to GNOME?

 how do you configure your screens?

It's a dual monitor setup, I'm using Xinerama and nVidia Twin View with glx
enabled.

Here's the screen configuration in my xorg.conf:

 do you get any error in .xsession-errors when you get the bug?

I've peeked in the system logs but did not find anything suspicious..

The bug does not seem to occur alone by itself.. I can reproduce it just by
dragging the panel from the top of my right screen
to the bottom of my left screen, from there it still works properly, but
when I drag it back to the top of my right screen it freeze
dead and became unusable.

However I've found a way to make it work again.. I just drag it to the left
side of my screen, in vertical position. From there
the window buttons starts working again and I can drag it back to its
original position and it still works..

I've done a tail -f on xession-errors while reproducing the bug, but I got
no errors message at all. I have the feeling that it
occurs when the panel is transfered from one screen to the other. I know
that xinerama is far from optimal and is probably
the culprit, but it's the only way I can get the windows to behave
normally (like not maximizing over both monitors).

I hope it will help

regards

 thank you for your bug report, how do you configure your screens? do you
 get the issue every time? do you get any error in .xsession-errors when
 you get the bug?

Re: [Bug 271343] Re: Gnome panel bugs with secondary monitor

[h3]

Kernel: 2.6.24-19-generic (32bit)
cpu: AMD64 4800
ram: 4G
gc: nVidia Quadro FX 1400
dual monitor setup: gxl, xinerama  twinview

Ok that just got weirder, I don't think it's a problem with the graphic card
redraw. I just did the following:

1. took my panel from the bottom of my first screen and dragged it to the
top of my second screen, the panel froze
2. I dragged it back to the bottom of my first screen, it was still frozen
3. I dragged the panel back to the top of my second screen BUT accidentally
dropped it on its left edge .. it started working back ..
4. I dragged it to the top .. and it's still working ..

I'll cross my fingers, but I have strong doubts that it will freeze back
soon enough..

 What video card and driver are you using?  Are you using 32 or 64 bit
 Ubuntu?  Does this happen on all screen edges and with floating panels
 or only in certain positions?  IMaybe the graphics card isn't properly
 redrawing the part of the screen into which the panel is being placed?

 I can't reproduce this problem using Compiz, 32bit Hardy, and fglrx.
