Package: synaptic
Version: 0.53.4-6
Severity: important
When starting synaptic under the ion2 window manager, a window is drawn
which flickers very quickly. The interface is unusable and the program
does not respond to xlib close events - a kill is required.
I think that this is a bug in the properties for a pop-up window which
may be being spawned at startup. To quote from the ION manual:
3.3 When I open a dialog from application A Ion starts quickly
switching between this dialog and the main window.
The application is flawed and tries to manage its dialog windows
instead of letting the window manager do its job: the dialog doesn't
have the transient_for hint set and when Ion displays this window,
it unmaps (hides) the main window. The broken application now thinks
that the user wants to hide the whole application instead of just
the main window and therefore unmaps the dialog. But as the dialog
is unmapped Ion switches back to the main window and now the
application wants to show the dialog too. We have a loop.
I note that it is possible to use synaptic within a FloatWS on Ion -
however this is a less-than-ideal workaround for the bug.
The manual goes on to offer a kludgy solution which involves identifying
the troublesome windows so ION can handle them (somehow). However I am
unable to identify the Class/Name of the windows in question due to the
flickering.
