Description of problem:
When I open a new tab (via right click on a terminal, clicking on something in
liferea, whatever), firefox immediately jumps onto the current workspace.
This is irritating.
Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
firefox-2.0.0.6-11.fc8
Additional info:
Seems related to the startup notification patch, as it worked ok in
2.0.0.6-8.fc8.

Owen says this is a metacity bug. The following program also hops
windows.

w = gtk.Window()
w.set_title("Foo")
w.show()

w.present()
return False

To give some background on this issue, Firefox now supports startup
notification:
https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=223492
The issue in this bug only occurs when there are multiple workspaces.
Removing this Firefox patch would be a regression in the single workspace case
because it would require clicking on a flashing browser entry in the task list
after activating an external link.

walters: metacity could look at the window role and alter the behavior

FWIW, commenting out the call to gdk_window_focus() in the patch makes it DTRT
for me.

Actually, what I meant was that based on the "type" of the window application
vs. dialog, you could do different things.
A application never, under any circumstances, should be moved between
desktops.

Since there seems to be agreement this is an upstream Metacity issue, please

Now if clicking the tray icon the buddy list just disappears on the workspace it is displayed and clicking it again lets it appear on the other workspace. >From my point of view this is a regression in the usability of my usage of the whole desktop.

Pidgin seems to be one of the few applications where the application relied on the behavior of gtk_window_present() bringing windows to the current workspace. On Compiz it seems to have the same behavior, which is interesting, because before Compiz and Metacity differed on the gtk_window_present(), so there must be some Pidgin-specific differentiation occuring somehow. Anyways, since the Firefox patch was removed before Fedora 8, there isn't much point to having this patch in Fedora 8 either. I will remove it and add an update. We will figure out how to fix Firefox and Metacity together for Fedora 9, and update them in sync.

All pidgin wants is that the buddy list window be presented to the user as such using gtk_window_present is the correct thing for us to be doing. Any policy decisions on what that means for pidgin are squarely in the realm of the window manager, desktop environment, and user preference. So again, pidgin itself relies on no specific behaviour out of gtk_window_present other than that of 'presenting the window to the user'.
