[Bug 150690] Re: Compiz Gutsy : Can't drag a window to another workspace
I've made a kinda hackish patch that lets you move the window to another workspace (actually its a viewport). Known bugs - The window isn't moved to the same position as the last workspace - No highlight during drag - Probably something more... Note I'm not a C developer and I really haven't got a clue of the internals of X, gtk, libwnc, etc. If I get more time during the weekend I might fix the last things. Otherwise if someone else is willing to fix the code, feel free ;-) Also, making diff isn't my cup of tea... Hope it works ;-) ** Attachment added: hackpatch.diff http://launchpadlibrarian.net/26782826/hackpatch.diff -- Compiz Gutsy : Can't drag a window to another workspace https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/150690 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Desktop Bugs, which is a bug assignee. -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs

Marcus Carlson : Wow, thanks for your hack! :-) Thought this patch probably need some modifications, if it works, it's already a good step. Can you post your patch on libwnck upstream bug report? That is the right place to discuss about this since GNOME developers are there. http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=505367 -- Compiz Gutsy : Can't drag a window to another workspace https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/150690 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Desktop Bugs, which is a bug assignee. -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs
[Bug 150690] Re: Compiz Gutsy : Can't drag a window to another workspace
Saïvann Carignan: It surly did need some modifications, in fact I felt ashame of the patch so I had to do a better one ;-) So here we go again, the window is now moved to the right position after the move and won't activate (unless moved to the current workspace/viewport). Very annoying having awn making jumps ;-) No highlighting this time either. Will also post upstream so they can give comments on the code. ** Attachment added: betterpatch.diff http://launchpadlibrarian.net/26784875/betterpatch.diff -- Compiz Gutsy : Can't drag a window to another workspace https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/150690 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Desktop Bugs, which is a bug assignee. -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs
[Bug 150690] Re: Compiz Gutsy : Can't drag a window to another workspace
Aha. If I understand it correct, a viewport is just a part of a large desktop (vm-spec). But how can the pager display get the number of viewports correctly when drawing the switcher, I might be blind but I just can't find the code that draws ALL (iterating thru the list and calls the appropriate drawing function) the viewports/workspaces in pager.c because this one seems to get the correct number... or I'm I completely wrong here? -- Compiz Gutsy : Can't drag a window to another workspace https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/150690 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Desktop Bugs, which is a bug assignee. -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs
Re: [Bug 150690] Re: Compiz Gutsy : Can't drag a window to another workspace
NOTE I've not looked at the code in question - though I plan to - this is just some potential insight into the situation. Seems to me, if compiz was taking over for the other multi-workspace code, it might do just what was observed - force the number of workspaces (from all the other/old codes perspective) to be 1, so it could render its own new-style workspaces into that one old-style workspace. If that's whats going on this starts to make more sense.

[Bug 150690] Re: Compiz Gutsy : Can't drag a window to another workspace
I just thought I would make a mock up of a more colourful workspace switcher. Since expo already has the functionality that we want, it must be possible to overlay expo into the workspace switch applet. ** Attachment added: mock up of an Expo type workspace switcher http://launchpadlibrarian.net/26729855/expo_as_workspaceswitcher.jpg -- Compiz Gutsy : Can't drag a window to another workspace https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/150690 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Desktop Bugs, which is a bug assignee. -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs

[Bug 150690] Re: Compiz Gutsy : Can't drag a window to another workspace
Hi folks,
I've been doing some investigating and maybe you already know this but
in libwnck in screen.c the function update_workspace_list this always
sets n_space to 1 without printing my warning. From my understanding
this goes all the way to compiz land which hacks the workspaces to
always be set to one.
n_spaces = 0;
if (!_wnck_get_cardinal (screen-priv-xroot,
_wnck_atom_get (_NET_NUMBER_OF_DESKTOPS),
n_spaces)) {
fprintf(stderr, WARNING WARNING could not get Atom
_NET_NUMBER_OF_DESKTOPS, setting n_spaces to 1\n);
n_spaces = 1;
}
Because of this the method wnck_screen_get_workspace_count will always return 1
and therefore also workspace_at_point will return 1 and the move will then fail
because we're moving from workspace 1 to workspace 1.
What I can understand this is the same reason bug #150443 fails.
The strange thing is that the drawer somehow can figure out how many
workspaces there really is - why this is so I couldn't find but I
suspect that it checks some gconf values because of the rows thing.
Maybe someone who knows a little bit more about compiz internal can
explain why _NET_NUMBER_OF_DESKTOPS is set to 1?

@paul beardsell: that sets the window manager back to metacity instead of compiz which is why it works again. The 'about' option on the workspace switcher states: The Workspace Switcher shows you a small version of your workspaces that lets you manage your windows. It allows you to do no such thing now.

Re: [Bug 150690] Re: Compiz Gutsy : Can't drag a window to another workspace

Re: [Bug 150690] Re: Compiz Gutsy : Can't drag a window to another workspace
I'm unaware of expo's drag/drop interface, so I can't comment, other than to say I found it REALLY REALLY useful to be able to move windows from workspace to workspace (on or off of the current workspace, for example) before this bug was introduced. Indeed, it _was_ a great way to manage my windows. I'm happy to see some other people taking interest in this bug; it's a significant usability problem. -pbr http://reiber.org On Wed, May 6, 2009 at 5:44 AM, dougfractal doug...@gmail.com wrote: IMO the switcher should be like a mini 'expo' when in compiz mode, and classic style when in metacity. 2009/5/6 wdesmet krom...@gmail.com @paul beardsell: that sets the window manager back to metacity instead of compiz which is why it works again.

I would like this fixed. But (works for me) there is an acceptable workaround: Disable visual effects. System - Preferences - Appearance - Visual effects - None. Then apps can be dragged workspace to workspace in the workspace switcher app. Paul Beardsell -- Compiz Gutsy : Can't drag a window to another workspace https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/150690 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Desktop Bugs, which is a bug assignee. -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs

I have no idea when this will-be/should-be/was fixed; I'm simply the guy who reported the problem. As a post mortem (if they/you/we are doing those) it'd be great to analyze this bug and see why it has taken so long to get it fixed (esp. since it _used_ to work!) I think it works under at least _some_ conditions now... happy to do some testing to verify; I'll follow up with another email after I do that.
