Bugzilla.gnome really needs a Pidgin
@mark, et al. The gnome people are actively charging into this discussion at this thread. http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=482354 But they are referring to what Pidgin might do, should do, could do, wants to do, and I really think it might be fruitful if someone knowledgeable could make an appearance in that thread while it's this active. -- View this message in context: http://www.nabble.com/Lost-workspace-function-with-Ubuntu-Hardy-tp18352855p18462577.html Sent from the Pidgin Support List mailing list archive at Nabble.com. ___ Support mailing list Support@pidgin.im http://pidgin.im/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/support
Re: Metacity patch causing some drama
Thanks for clarifying Mark. I guess I did misread Casey's intent. I will be happy to TRY and make the post, as you suggest, though I really don't even know quite how to approach it. I guess I am still unclear why such a major change in existing behavior would await a lowly user like me to try and explain the problem to the Gnome folks. Given the stature of yourself and other Pidgin developers, I would assume the issue might get a bit more of their mindshare if it came from you. But then maybe I am just a minority, and few people even use multiple Ubuntu workstations. -- View this message in context: http://www.nabble.com/Lost-workspace-function-with-Ubuntu-Hardy-tp18352855p18454723.html Sent from the Pidgin Support List mailing list archive at Nabble.com. ___ Support mailing list Support@pidgin.im http://pidgin.im/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/support

Metacity patch causing some drama
I get a number of windowing errors from time to time, that I've never seen before. Most of them requiring a restart. I cannot know for sure that they're related to the metacity patch (and now say, FF3), but the coincidence is inescapable. I sure hope this gets fixed. I find pidgin almost unusuable if I have to hunt for my IMs. The patch as restored the functionality, but at a cost of endless suspicion about that meta city patch. -- View this message in context: http://www.nabble.com/Lost-workspace-function-with-Ubuntu-Hardy-tp18352855p18436811.html Sent from the Pidgin Support List mailing list archive at Nabble.com. ___ Support mailing list Support@pidgin.im http://pidgin.im/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/support

Metacity patch to restore activations with Ubuntu Hardy
Regarding the window activation problem i discussed here: http://www.nabble.com/Lost-workspace-function-with-Ubuntu-Hardy-tt18352855.html This is a fix for it that worked well. What the long term implications are, I have no idea.

Re: Metacity patch to restore activations with Ubuntu Hardy
Great news, Casey. Thanks. I have a hunch many Hardy users are having this problem, but think it's just them. That's been my experience with 3 other users, thus far. I'd be happy to test it. How can I learn when you have something to test?

I'm against adding that sort of hack directly into pidgin proper. I'll need to add a signal into pidgin or libpurple to signal when it is going present a conversation (we've already have an appropriate signal for showing/hiding the buddy list). -casey ___ Support mailing list Support@pidgin.im http://pidgin.im/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/support -- View this message in context: http://www.nabble.com/Lost-workspace-function-with-Ubuntu-Hardy-tp18352855p18411921.html Sent from the Pidgin Support List mailing list archive at Nabble.com. ___ Support mailing list Support@pidgin.im http://pidgin.im/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/support
Re: Lost workspace function with Ubuntu Hardy
I just tested Kopete under hardy. It works precisely as pidgin used to, and the way it should again. I click on the buddy, and it activates the conversation window and active tab. Is this a good sign that gnome or metacity are not tearing a hole in the fabric of the universe, and things can indeed be restored to a natural harmony? -- View this message in context: http://www.nabble.com/Lost-workspace-function-with-Ubuntu-Hardy-tp18352855p18395396.html Sent from the Pidgin Support List mailing list archive at Nabble.com. ___ Support mailing list Support@pidgin.im http://pidgin.im/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/support
Re: Lost workspace function with Ubuntu Hardy
Indeed, that might be it. Reading the diff, I'm not sure if there's much we can do about it. -- Richard Ugh. Why not? Wouldn't that be an event on the Buddy list itself?
