Hi List, I have been hunting for a bug for quite some time which has the following symptom:
"When clicking a window name in the taskbar of lxpanel, the window gets the focus, but is not [always] raised to the top, and no desktop switch is performed in the case that the window belongs to a different desktop other than the current." <- lxpanel 0.5 observation For a while, I have blamed compiz-fusion, because openbox-lxde at least puts the window to front. Now I did some more research and found that 1. lxpanel 0.3.8.1 works fine, and also switches desktops, rotating the compiz desktop cube whenever necessary. 2. lxpanel 0.5 seems to be confused about some GDK-related screen parameters, giving the error message lxpanel : X error: BadMatch (Invalid Parameter Attributes) whenever a window in the taskbar is clicked, independent of the window manager. lxpanel 0.3.8.1 did not display this error. This brings me to the conclusion that window raising and focusing is done in lxpanel 0.5 in a different way, that does NOT work correctly, opposed to lxpanel 0.3 where it was still OK. Sorry this is still an unsharp error report, but I currently don't have anything better. Temporary solution (for me): reverting back to lxpanel 0.3. Unfortunately, this means that I cannot use any of the new 0.5 plugins. This topic has been discusseded briefly here, too: http://sourceforge.net/tracker/index.php?func=detail&aid=2834685&group_id=180858&atid=894869 but no solution or point to a place in the source where to fix it yet. Unless someone has a very quick fix for window raising, we are going back to lxpanel 0.3 in KNOPPIX until this is resolved. No sweat. Another pending question: How can the user activate programs running in the panel dock (such as nm-applet) using the keyboard? This is vitally important for accessibility. Also, being able to activate panel program icons would be nice-to-have, but not as important as reaching the docked applications. The lxpanelctl menu hack works fine for the menu, but does not solve reachabilit of other lxpanel items.
