closing a leak does not always mean inserting a plug, sometimes it just
means lessening the leak to a trickle, one that you can afford to pay for.
In this case, a trickle will do for now.

[Bug 49579] Re: screen doesn't lock when panel menu is open

2011-12-04 Thread Josh Leverette
Not a simple fix? Perhaps not, but it's not 5.5 years of complex either.
And you listed two solutions, neither of which were good.

Solution: When screen lock seeks to activate, it emits a signal which
overrides the mouse and keyboard grabs from all other processes while
the screen is locked. Then when the user inputs during the unlock
process, the screen lock receives all input. After successfully
unlocking, the system 'pops' the screen lock grabs off of a stack and
returns the grabs into the previous application. That previous
application would see nothing awry, as it would have received no input
during the duration, but it would not have received any errors either.
This might require modification of the way the x server handles mouse
and keyboard grabs, but if the 'hack' were to only allow grab stacking
for the screen lock, it shouldn't break compatibility with anything.
Simple enough, even if the implementation would require effort.

As far as the wayland and LightDM things go, i dunno.  A VT switch? like
switching virtual terminals? So to hack that machine, I'd need only
do ctrl-alt-F7? that seems secure enough. And Wayland will not be ready
for 12.04 if I recall correctly, so that's a nonsolution. Businesses
need this security, not end users. Businesses use LTS, not regular
releases. I hate to be so blunt, but your solution is to wait several
more years, and frankly, I'm pretty sure that isn't even remotely an
acceptable solution to *anyone* who has been patiently waiting on this
to be fixed for 6 years now, especially not business users. Find a
better way, or *they* will find Windows, if this is the way security
bugs are treated.

[Bug 540951] [NEW] Menus will not scroll down, they jump back up as soon as the mouse re-enters the menu area

2010-03-18 Thread Josh Leverette
Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: gnome-panel

Unlike Bug #537374, this is a far more critical bug. If I use the arrow
keys to scroll down to menu items out of sight, the menu stays at the
top. If I hover the mouse over the bottom arrow of the menu, it scrolls
down happily... but then I move the mouse towards the menu item I want
and the menu IMMEDIATELY jumps back to the very top, before I can even
think about clicking. If I try to use the scroll wheel on them mouse, it
scrolls down until the menu item i'm hovering over passes by the cursor,
at which point it jumps back to where it began. This is a CRITICAL bug.
If people cannot access their menu items for whatever reason, then this
is a very serious UI flaw.

I'm using a fully patched version of Ubuntu 10.04 on an Acer Aspire One.

[Bug 44082] Re: GNOME Panel icons (on right side) move apparently randomly on session start in some situations

2010-03-08 Thread Josh Leverette
Wait... is some team a FAILURE AT LIFE or is it just me? I'm sorry, that
was rude. Almost as rude as leaving one of the most annoying bugs
unfixed for four years, not quite, but close. Don't be a Microsoft! I'm
pretty sure even I, yes, I could write the code to fix this in four
years time. If I had known this was still an issue I might have done so
last summer when I had free time, but I thought surely they've got
someone on this. And I was sooo happy with Lucid Lynx because the
applets were behaving themselves until just now. Seriously. I don't want
to go back to KDE. Fix This! How hard can it be to fix? If you wanted a
lazy fix you could load each applet, individually, in the order they're
supposed to appear. I don't care if it adds five seconds to the login
time as long as we get this fixed, rearranging applets is a complete
waste of time, and a baffling failure in UI design. KDE doesn't have
this problem last time I checked. Mac doesn't. Even Windows doesn't. In
fact, last time I checked EVERY user interface on the planet that
has rearrangeable ANYTHING remembers the order you put them in. Am I
being overzealous or over-the-top on this issue? I don't mean to be, but
it is beyond my comprehension that something like this has been allowed
to persist for years on end. Maybe we're suggesting that the grass is
greener on the other side so let's wait until Gnome Shell. Yeah, that's
the way to fix this bug. Please, please, please, please, please, please,
please, please, please, please, please, please, please, please fix this
for the Long Term Support version of Ubuntu. Oh wait, that's the next
version. Please, please, please fix it for Lucid Lynx. If this was such
an insanely difficult bug to fix, why hasn't the community been directly
asked to help fix this bug? If that had happened while I wasn't under a
mountain of honors classes at school, I would have been willing to give
it a go.

(I'm really sorry about the tone and expressions of frustration that may
have been unleashed above. Major bugs that get ignored for years on end
tend to have a very real effect on my sensibility)

[Bug 44082] Re: GNOME Panel icons (on right side) move apparently randomly on session start in some situations

2010-03-08 Thread Josh Leverette
No, because i'm not familiar with gnome-panel code, it would take me a
few hours to get acquainted with how it works. (if i'm correct on how
much code there is in the gnome panel) 10/15 minutes of comment writing
is a much smaller amount of time. Now if I was familiar with the code, I
probably would've worked on that. However, I don't have a few hours to
spend just to understand the layout of the code, let alone to fix the
problem... I've got too much school work. However, the team of people
intimately familiar with the gnome-panel code should either be able to
write that code in well under a weekend's worth of work or the gnome-
panel should be trashed in favor of a cleaner code base. I know from
personal experience that if I am a lazy programmer, code will become
unmanageable, making functionality changes nearly impossible. But, if I
wrote code in a clean, structured way; development would proceed faster
with less bugs, and future revisions to the functionality would be
relatively painless.

So unless I spend the whole night writing 5 minute comments, I would not
have even been able to come close to fixing this bug. Someone who is
familiar with the code base should be able to fix the code in a few
hours work tops, assuming the code is complicated. If this is not
possible, than I think it must be time to reconsider the value of this
panel. Perhaps I'm missing some key fact, but I don't think it should
take four years of procrastination to fix such a bug as this. Let me
know the next time your firefox bookmarks bar rearranges itself.

[Bug 44082] Re: GNOME Panel icons (on right side) move apparently randomly on session start in some situations

2010-03-08 Thread Josh Leverette
(If you suggest that this fix cannot be done in a reasonable amount of
work, then I would be more than happy to lead the initiative for making
a more reliable panel. However, that is not something I want to do. I
want the team to just sit down and rewrite the code that either loads
the applets or arranges them, but what I want is not always possible it
seems.)

Oh, and @zsolt, i'm not saying its lazily programmed... i'm just
suggesting that its the most probable cause of a four year failure to
fix this bug.

And @Sebastien, point me to the right mailing list and I'll file my
complaints over there; but I was under the impression that those places
were linked to gnome related bugs in Launchpad somehow or another? I
seem to be wrong.

@takeda64, ok. That's unfortunate. Perhaps Gnome Shell will redeem
Ubuntu of this troubling bug.

[Bug 387957] Re: Improve Save As Dialog Box (focus issues)

2009-11-29 Thread Josh Leverette
If gdi2k (#11) did not make a valid point, I would like David to tell us
why it is invalid. The interest generated here and the obvious UI flaw
which is easy to fix makes this an obvious candidate for a papercut.
Seeing how David has abstained from commenting on this bug again, and it
has acquired significant new evidence, I am overruling his invalidation
until he returns to comment once more; at which point it will be
completely up to him to decide the validity.

[Bug 438168] [NEW] gnome-panel does not maintain orientation

2009-09-28 Thread Josh Leverette
Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: gnome-panel

I have Ubuntu 9.10 Alpha 6 with updates running in VirtualBox with Guest
Additions installed. Whenever the screen changes resolution the bottom
panel forgets its orientation and ends up at the top of the screen. I
would be led to believe this bug would affect a native installation when
the screen resizes, and this is a major UI bug if it does.

ProblemType: Bug
Architecture: i386
Date: Mon Sep 28 10:19:53 2009
DistroRelease: Ubuntu 9.10
Package: gnome-panel 1:2.28.0-0ubuntu3

 SHELL=/bin/bash
ProcVersionSignature: Ubuntu 2.6.31-11.36-generic
SourcePackage: gnome-panel

[Bug 189192] Re: gdmsetup dialog is to big for 1024 x 768 resolution

2009-07-01 Thread Josh Leverette
Stop!!! REALLY!
This is not invalid.

Have you ever heard of scrollable regions?!?!?!?!? Just make the control
blocks within the tabs into scrollable regions, then if the height is
too low for it to be able to fit them all there, it makes it scrollable.
This lets the users be able to see the bottom of the window, even if it
is scrollable. This is a papercut. Changing the type of container for a
set of controls is not a big task.

And if GTK does not have a scrollable container, then Windows API just
owned GTK. So, you're not helping your own cause if you continue to
whine about how big of a task this is.

All that has to be done is change the containers within the tabs from a
standard container type into a scrollable container type. This is doing
a Search and Replace on a variable type and hitting recompile.

2009-07-01 Thread Josh Leverette
the dialog is also not used in the new gdm which will land soon in
karmic --Sebastien Bacher

What is that supposed to mean? That they are doing a complete redesign
of the dialog? Definitely a bigger undertaking than the papercut written
here.
