[Bug 72732] Re: alt-f6 doesn't reliably switch between windows within an application
This bug was fixed in the package gnome-terminal - 2.23.91-0ubuntu1 --- gnome-terminal (2.23.91-0ubuntu1) intrepid; urgency=low * New upstream release - gnome-terminal crashed with SIGSEGV in free() (LP: #260838) - Multiple gnome-terminals don't have the same X group property Reverts the patch from bug #115994, since it breaks window switching with Alt-F6 in metacity (and also didn't offer a real rationale for making each window be its own group leader). (LP: #72732) * debian/control.in: - Bump up libgtk build-depend to 2.13.6 * debian/patches/99_autoreconf.patch: - Refresh for new release -- Pedro Fragoso [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sun, 31 Aug 2008 02:00:46 +0100 ** Changed in: gnome-terminal (Ubuntu) Status: Fix Committed = Fix Released -- alt-f6 doesn't reliably switch between windows within an application https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/72732 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 72732] Re: alt-f6 doesn't reliably switch between windows within an application
Group name is slightly incorrect: if a window's in a group, it has a field pointing to a(nother) window's ID, and all the windows which have that ID are in the group. The window which is pointed to is called the group leader and doesn't even have to be mapped. xwininfo doesn't know about groups, but xprop does: [EMAIL PROTECTED]:~$ xprop|grep group window id # of group leader: 0x241 (where I clicked on Firefox in between.) Specs for this are at http://tronche.com/gui/x/icccm/sec-4.html -- search throughout for group.

[Bug 72732] Re: alt-f6 doesn't reliably switch between windows within an application
Oh: yes, there are other ways to tell whether the windows are from the same application. The most immediately obvious ones are the optional WM_CLIENT_MACHINE and _NET_WM_PID properties, which would give you the process ID of the owning application: http://standards.freedesktop.org/wm-spec/wm-spec-1.3.html#id2507760 Beyond that we'd be getting into window matching territory, looking at title strings and icon bitmaps and so on. -- alt-f6 doesn't reliably switch between windows within an application https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/72732 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 72732] Re: alt-f6 doesn't reliably switch between windows within an application
This is rather disappointing, given that it also doesn't work with other applications like Emacs. * Is there a way for me to easily get the Group name of arbitrary windows? xwininfo doesn't provide it, as far as I can tell. Even something that's accessible through a Python interpreter would be fine. I guess I could do a little ctypes-ing... * Are there any other potential sources of information to determine which windows are from the same application, that you can think of? -- alt-f6 doesn't reliably switch between windows within an application https://launchpad.net/bugs/72732 -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs

[Bug 72732] Re: alt-f6 doesn't reliably switch between windows within an application
Hi, I'm the author of the upstream alt-f6 code. It does actually use the X window's group property. It appears to me that the problem is that multiple gnome-terminals don't have the same group property as one another. You can add the debugging statement below to demonstrate this. Unless I'm mistaken here, this should probably be a bug against gnome- terminal. ** Bug watch added: GNOME Bug Tracker #94682 http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=94682 ** Also affects: metacity (upstream) via http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=94682 Importance: Unknown Status: Unknown ** Attachment added: Demonstrate which groups windows belong to when you press alt-f6 http://librarian.launchpad.net/5910305/d.patch -- alt-f6 doesn't reliably switch between windows within an application https://launchpad.net/bugs/72732 -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs
