[Bug 69938] Re: Fluxbox background disappears on certain events

this is not a bug, this is what happens when you have a programm spanning the whole desktop at a layer beneath most regular windows. think about it as having firefox or chrome running in fullscreen-mode below your xterm: what happens if you right-click in the area of where chrome draws its pixels?

I'm sorry, but I disagree - this *is* a bug, it involves unexpected behaviour when running an application. That's either a bug with Fluxbox, the application, or the interaction between the two. However, if the fix is to pass extra arguments to the Nautilus command, perhaps a simple way to close

the chrome-argument addresses the problem completely: you have a window completely covering all of the available space. any event on any poin there is handled by the app covering that area. let it be chrome, nautilus or wine (which creates a virtual desktop and thus spanning the whole area): the

The Chrome argument does not address the problem that if I launch Nautilus from the menu then I can no longer access the menu, even if I quit Nautilus using the standard cross icon in the top right corner of the window. Plus, even if I kill all the Nautilus processes, the background image has

a) any process can change the background image. changing the background image is done by drawing pixels to the root-window, any process can do that. and .. to your surprise .. one can do that without detecting the change. and furthermore: how should the window-manager react on the change?

again: nautilus is a file-manager. files. not background-images. not right-clicks on the desktop. files. if you want to use nautilus and it does the things it does to increase user-experience (i can even understand the arguments for spanning the whole desktop) then thats what you get. when i

This problem is still occurring in Trusty, it's extremely frustrating as the inability to get a menu up and running means no programs can be launched other than through a terminal. Steps to reproduce: 1. Install Ubuntu Desktop 14.04 from latest ISO image. 2. Install fluxbox using: sudo apt-get

I have noticed this problem as well. Or something similar. The background wallpaper is replaced with the Ubuntu 'default' background when I start Rhythmbox and, in addition, when I start Nautilus. In addition, fluxbox actions that require the desktop no longer work. For example, right clicking
