Public bug reported:
Binary package hint: indicator-applet
Summary: The new indicator applet on the gnome panel does not work
properly, at least with Pidgin: Pidgin does not reliably come to the
foreground (which worked fine in 8.10).
1) Ubuntu Jaunty Beta
2) indicator-applet: (not sure this is where the bug lives)
Installed: 0.1.4-0ubuntu1
Candidate: 0.1.4-0ubuntu1
Version table:
*** 0.1.4-0ubuntu1 0

3) I expect Pidgin to jump to the foreground of the current Desk
whenever I click it in the indicator applet. This worked fine in 8.10,
before the new indicator applet was introduced.
4) What happens typically (but not absolutely reliably: I was not able to find
out the ultimate rules*):
== Staying on the same desk ==
a. [OK] If Pidgin is already displayed on the current desk and in the
foreground: It disappears.
b1. If Pidgin is not displayed at all because it was closed with Alt-F4 or the
x button (top right):
* [not OK] It appears on the current desk, but /under/ the top window if that
window is not the same as the one that was directly under Pidgin before it was
closed.
* [OK] It appears in the foreground if the top window is the same as the one
under Pidgin before.
b2.[not OK] If Pidgin is not displayed at all because it was closed from the
indicator applet: It appears on the current desk, but always under the top
window.
c. [not OK] If Pidgin is displayed on the current desk, but covered by some
other window: It flashes to the foreground for a very short time, then goes
back to where it was (which is not necessarily directly under the top window).
== Changing the desk ==
d. [not OK] If Pidgin is already displayed on another desk: It appears in the
foreground, but it does not have the focus (title bar of it's window is grey).
e. [OK] If Pidgin is not displayed on any desk: It appears in the foreground
and has the focus.
In general, the Pidgin window is displayed as active (bold typeface) in
the window list on the panel when it should be in the foreground but is
not. This applies even in the case of d.
*) I suspect that using key combinations like alt-tab, or changing desks
back and forth somehow have an influence.
By the way, a similar problem exists with Ekiga (that, however, does not
cooperate with the indicator applet): It only appears on the current
screen if it is not displayed anywhere else. I'll post a separate bug
report and link it here.
