[Bug 258074] Re: metacity crashed with SIGSEGV in mouse_button_mods_handler()
This happens because: 1. When a GConf key does not exist, its value is null. 2. mouse_button_mods_handler(), which is the handler for the key /apps/metacity/general/mouse_button_modifier, calls meta_ui_accelerator_parse() with the value of that key. 3. meta_ui_accelerator_parse() immediately deferences that value, which may be null. Optimisation may cause this to appear as though it had happened within mouse_button_mods_handler(). The solution is to make mouse_button_mods_handler() ignore the value if the key is missing. I've just committed this upstream.

[Bug 35876] Re: 'Downloading package information' and 'building dependency tree' progress dialogs steal focus
I should note that, although I don't know the specifics of the problem and so I can't say whether it's been fixed, Robert's answer is certainly not the whole truth. Metacity has no way of knowing whether a window needs input. Metacity policy (and also the policy of any other sane WM, as Bogdan mentions) is that applications should never be able to steal focus. When a window attempts to steal focus, we intercept it and blink the icon on the taskbar, much as Windows does. Application authors often think this is a bad idea, and try to figure out ways of stealing focus, so we're always having to find new ways to stop them. (Of course, there are also bugs in our prevention mechanisms to fix.) It is possible that you have found a case where an application can steal focus; if so it is important it's fixed. Focus stealing is an important matter to us, almost as important as crashes, and I will make it a priority to fix things if you can give me a reproducible case we agree is a problem. -- 'Downloading package information' and 'building dependency tree' progress dialogs steal focus https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/35876 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is a direct subscriber. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

Wouter: I still don't have a concrete understanding of what in the meantime means. Clearly you mean that if focus hasn't changed, and no keyboard activity has occured, between time A and time B, the new window should not get focus. Time B is presumably the time when the window appears on the screen. What is time A? Is it launch in the sense of [1]? If so, you realise that that doesn't apply in the sleep 8; gtk- demo case given above? What should be done in that case?

[Bug 35876] Re: 'Downloading package information' and 'building dependency tree' progress dialogs steal focus
last click was on the panel's menu window, which doesn't exist anymore That isn't the way menus work, though; you can see this with the menus of any application. The case you mention in your first footnote is in fact the general case for all menus-- they always give focus back to where it came from. Anyway, we generally try not to have cases where *nothing* has focus. It makes the keyboard rather useless and confuses accessibility. For what it's worth, if you open the new application with the panel menus, we do know the launch time because of the startup-notification system. It's an interesting idea to use process creation time as point A. Note, though, that it's not windows belonging to the same kernel process as such but windows which are marked in X as belonging with one another; you could imagine having one Java virtual machine process for the whole system running several applications.

[Bug 116807] Re: Number of rows of desktops forgotten if no switcher on panel
A further thought occurred to me while attempting to explain this to someone at 1am over a cheese sandwich. The EWMH doesn't actually say that the switcher decides the workspace layout. What it says is that _NET_DESKTOP_LAYOUT (which is what decides the number of rows) must only be set by the switcher and never by the window manager. So if the switcher isn't on the panel, and hasn't been since we started, _NET_DESKTOP_LAYOUT won't be set on a screen at all. Now suppose we started up and found that this wasn't so... well, perhaps the panel hadn't started, so we'd set a timer and come back to the matter a second or so later, and if it still hadn't, we could fish the number of rows out of gconf and pretend we'd read it instead. The trouble with this, though, is that the number of rows is stored as a property of the applet, so we'd need somewhere else to keep it for this one particular case. -- Number of rows of desktops forgotten if no switcher on panel https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/116807 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
[Bug 137239] Re: compiz and metacity should behave the same way
I think the trouble is that Metacity is not tunable enough to do this by design: Metacity is supposed to be a small, simple window manager without a whole lot of options and bells and whistles. Of course we could patch it at the Ubuntu level to behave differently, or to be more tunable, and we could consider some kind of standard about how basic and very common actions work (although I'm not sure that middle click on maximise button counts as basic and very common) at, say, the freedesktop level, although currently that role is mostly filled quite reasonably by consensus. If you've found a place where that consensus falls down, such as here, I think it's not unreasonable to ask Metacity or Compiz to change their default behaviour when you middle-click the maximise button as a specific bug (at least at the Ubuntu level; since this has quite recently been the subject of a slightly heated discussion upstream, I doubt the upstream maintainers would upset the boat by changing the behaviour again now.) -- compiz and metacity should behave the same way https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/137239 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

Okay, before anything else, since you want this on some windows and not others, we would need a way of knowing which windows knew how to go to the notification area. This would be done with a new EWMH property on those windows. This would mean we had to update the EWMH, which can't be done without discussion on the wm-spec-list. So that should be your first port of call. http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/wm-spec-list After that we'd need a way of telling a window to notificationify itself. Then we'd need to modify at least metacity and kwin and compiz to support the new functionality and the new theme formats which the extra button would require. Then we'd need to find some way of getting themes available that used the new button. But we can talk about all that on the list, so what you should do next is join that list and ask there, giving a reference to this bug report. (Apart from all this, I still don't see how an action which means hide the main window and put things in the notification area is functionally different from the action which already exists which means hide the main window and change the status in the task bar, or that you've explained this anywhere.

[Bug 178953] Re: compiz doesn't start if metacity compositor is enabled
Patch to fix the segfault is committed to upstream trunk, but it still doesn't let Compiz accept the CM selection! I shall continue to investigate, and hope to get more information to you tomorrow. -- compiz doesn't start if metacity compositor is enabled https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/178953 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
[Bug 178953] Re: compiz doesn't start if metacity compositor is enabled
Here are my thoughts. Part one, the background reading: It seems to me after a while of digging through the ICCCM that Travis Watkins was incorrect back in December when he said that Metacity was not giving up control of the compositor selection. Section 2.8 of the ICCCM says that anyone who wants a selection can take it. The old owner is told they're losing it, but they don't get a choice in the matter. Obviously it was unhelpful when Metacity crashed at that point, but it no longer does. (Backport to stable is coming soon.) Part two, the experimentation: I have experimented with the return results around the lines which Travis pointed out. Compiz, as you see, does not check the return result of XSetSelectionOwner. I have checked the result, and it is BadRequest. (In case of strange synchronisation oddities, I have performed the same experiment with an XSync on the previous line, with identical results.) BadRequest is a low-level problem in X itself or in Xlib; I don't know what might be going on here but it would appear to be at least as much a Compiz problem as a Metacity problem, since this error should never appear. I have therefore reopened this bug against Compiz. -- compiz doesn't start if metacity compositor is enabled https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/178953 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

Compiz fails to check return code of XSetSelectionOwner which is returning it a low-level X error. ** Changed in: compiz (Ubuntu) Status: Invalid = New -- compiz doesn't start if metacity compositor is enabled https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/178953 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

(Sorry, that wasn't a reply to crdlb; I only just got the notification email.) @crdlb: Your first paragraph sounds like a good solution. I'll try it out this evening and see what I find. Your second para is entirely correct, of course, but a failure there doesn't necessarily mean that it's the old selection owner's fault if it fails. -- compiz doesn't start if metacity compositor is enabled https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/178953 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

The effect is activ in the compiz-desktop only Then this bug does not belong under metacity.
