[Bug 828932] Re: can't focus Contact List while a conversation window is open

2011-09-15 Thread Sean Fitzpatrick
I should add that this remains a problem in the latest version of Unity in 11.10. The general bug summary is the following: 1. There are never problems if the Unity launcher is used to select a window - this always results in proper window focus. 2. To reproduce the bug (it doesn't happen 100% o

OK, although it's been my experience with Ubuntu up to and including 11.04 that with the open source driver most games with 3D graphics are unplayable - even something like SuperTuxKart. So I'd rather have Unity+Games than GNOME Shell with no games, especially since my preferences lean towards Uni

The patch wasn't mine! I think it came from upstream and was posted here by Jonathan. Although, this may all be moot, since in 11.10 testing it looks like both swell-foop and lightsoff have been pulled from the gnome-games package - in fact they're gone from the repositories altogether. So perha
