It appears setting GDK_NATIVE_WINDOWS to true fixes the problem. As a test, try to running: env GDK_NATIVE_WINDOWS=1 gnome-panel --replace
If that works, you can set it globally by adding file: /etc/X11/Xsession.d/85setnativewindows with contents: # -*- sh -*- GDK_NATIVE_WINDOWS=true export GDK_NATIVE_WINDOWS then restart X -- gnome-panel loses focus on second screen https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/517554 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Desktop Bugs, which is subscribed to gnome-panel in ubuntu. -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs
