[Bug 553716] [NEW] transparent panel fails to properly blur desktop background
Public bug reported: Binary package hint: gnome-panel Description: Ubuntu lucid (development branch) Release: 10.04 gnome-panel: 1:2.30.0-0ubuntu1 compiz: 1:0.8.4-0ubuntu13 Using updated Lucid (as of 04/01/10) the GNOME panel no longer blurs the desktop background behind it properly. I'm using the Compiz Blur plugin (Blur Filter: Gaussian, Gaussian Radius: 15, Gaussian Strength: 0.1000, Mipmap LOD: 5, Independent texture fetch), Compiz Opacity, Brightness and Saturation plugin ((class=Gnome-panel) & class=90) and a png background image for the panel with an alpha channel (approx. 25% opaque). Before this bug the panel was beautiful and the text clearly readable with most backgrounds, but now it looks pretty bad unfortunately. I've experimented with different settings, themes, etc., but the effect remains the same. If I use Alt-Middlemouse over the panel to gradually adjust the panel opacity, it will slightly blur the desktop background at around the 25% opaque mark, but the blur strength doesn't correspond at all to the blur strength of other windows' opacity levels. With the panel set to 25% opaque, moving a window behind the panel will result in the window being more blurry than the desktop background, where before they'd be blurred by the same amount. Using the panel properties (Solid color with transparency) results in no blurring at all of the background or windows moved underneath it. Using only the alpha channel in the panel background image for transparency results in no blur at all in the desktop background and any windows moved under the panel can't be seen at all. There are several similar problems here, all of which I hope are related to one or more recent changes in gnome-panel or Compiz and/or its plugins. Which themes are used seems to be irrelevant.

[Bug 163865] Re: something steals focus of fullscreen 3d apps
I noticed on an Acer laptop (Ubuntu 8.04 Desktop x86, all normal updates, Compiz enabled, Intel video chipset) when "Dim screen when idle" is enabled that the screen will dim when playing these games. A few of the games affected (because not all are) include LTris, The Mana World, LBreakout2, and Frozen Bubble 2. -- something steals focus of fullscreen 3d apps https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/163865 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Desktop Bugs, which is subscribed to gnome-screensaver in ubuntu. -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs
[Bug 157819] Re: Login Window configuration saves wrong settings
The app in question is gdmsetup and it's been a bug since Feisty at least. I'm still experiencing it on 8.04 Desktop AMD64 on a clean install with all available updates except the proposed repo. The description matches that given in the initial post by seanh. Whether or not the Human theme has been fixed (shown in the png above), the gdmsetup problem described in the initial post remains. -- Login Window configuration saves wrong settings https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/157819 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Desktop Bugs, which is subscribed to gdm in ubuntu. -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs

I agree that they should be merged.
