here is a bad news.

this problem exists in ubuntu9.04(still in alpha stage) with gnome 2.26
also.

The God cried, "I will not see this bug fixed before I die!"

It is better not to involve God into this issue. ;) Sad thing is that
users having notebooks with widescreen will still suffer from this bug.
Of course as long as they won't waste their vertical space with
horizontal-oriented panels or run too many GUI applications. :/

A partial solution for my widescreen laptop was the use of Separtors in an 
expanded panel to limit the growth of the Window List applet to a maximum of 7 
rows of buttons.
It's not an optimal solution but it is extremely easy to adopt and it works.

That's exactly what I meant.
- Put a Separator a little below the Window List applet;
- Launch at least eight applications;
- Move the Separator until you have no more than seven rows of buttons so that 
the eighth button appears in the second column;
- Lock the Window List and the Separator to the panel.

Hope this helps.

this bug still happens here on jaunty. I can open 8 windows and then it
hangs. The workaround using the separator does work, but it is not a
very nice workaround, since I's rather use all of the available vertical
space.

This patch has been already discussed by GNOME developers in their bug
tracking system and it is still not appropriate. It is a very good
workaround at the mean time, but not good enough to be applied on
upstream project so this bug will stay open until GNOME developers (or
anyone else) make a complete patch that meet the needs.

2009-01-08 Thread doobydave
Would it not be possible to prompt a user to install the patch the
moment they decide to move the panel to a vertical position?

At each time a new user experiences this bug enough to be able to find
details about it (let's face it, it's not very clear why the machine
hangs - and only after it has occurred enough might a user guess where
the problem lies), they will be very disappointed to learn how old it
is.

I know this isn't the place to vent any frustration, but frankly I am
getting tired with Ubuntu's relentless 'progress' (well, the
implementation of many vista-like "Are you sure you're sure?" dialogs)
rather than fixing the mess made by two releases a year. Having seen
several bugs die with the discontinuation of support for previous
versions, I'm not so sure that there are sufficient resources to achieve
a single bug-free distro.

Hello, I can confirm that bug in Gnome-panel,  8.10 Intrepid, I
detected because I like to change the panels I didn't knew all these
information of the gnome-panel bugs, but its the same using the latest
version of ubuntu , the only way I can change this is resetting my user,

2008-11-02 Thread Dominik Lang
Hi all,

i've installed the 8.10 release today and noticed this bug is still
present. I've written a little shell-script that automates all the steps
outlined by paskma (thanks for the patches by the way) and fiddles with
the version numbers so that patch will not complain about it.

Things to note:
- use at your own risk (as with everything)
- it has been tested with a fresh Interpid Ibex installation (gnome-panel and 
libwnck versions: 2.24.1) and most probably also works with previous versions 
down to 2.22.0, 2.22.1 respectively.
- may also work in future releases
- Synaptic will want to update to the broken ones again afterwards, iirc.
- It doesn't update the Changelogs anymore, since their patches didn't work 
even with the modifications, and i'm too lazy to dig into the patch syntax.

So here it is: http://dominiklang.ch/gnome-panel-fix

Save the file in the directory of your choice, make it executable (if
you don't know how, you'll find a way in the file's settigns) and run it
with root privileges ($ sudo gnome-panel-fix).

2009-01-08 Thread Saïvann Carignan
This patch has been already discussed by GNOME developers in their bug
tracking system and it is still not appropriate. It is a very good
workaround at the mean time, but not good enough to be applied on
upstream project so this bug will stay open until GNOME developers (or
anyone else) make a complete patch that meet the needs.

Would it not be possible to prompt a user to install the patch the
moment they decide to move the panel to a vertical position?

At each time a new user experiences this bug enough to be able to find
details about it (let's face it, it's not very clear why the machine
hangs - and only after it has occurred enough might a user guess where
the problem lies), they will be very disappointed to learn how old it
is.

I know this isn't the place to vent any frustration, but frankly I am
getting tired with Ubuntu's relentless 'progress' (well, the
implementation of many vista-like "Are you sure you're sure?" dialogs)
rather than fixing the mess made by two releases a year. Having seen
several bugs die with the discontinuation of support for previous
versions, I'm not so sure that there are sufficient resources to achieve
a single bug-free distro.

Hello, I can confirm that bug in Gnome-panel,  8.10 Intrepid, I
detected because I like to change the panels I didn't knew all these
information of the gnome-panel bugs, but its the same using the latest
version of ubuntu , the only way I can change this is resetting my user,
the right side panel in the bar it still working. My first freeze was
with the emerald theme manager and next was the windows in the right,

A partial solution for my widescreen laptop was the use of Separtors in an 
expanded panel to limit the growth of the Window List applet to a maximum of 7 
rows of buttons.
It's not an optimal solution but it is extremely easy to adopt and it works.

That's exactly what I meant.
- Put a Separator a little below the Window List applet;
- Launch at least eight applications;
- Move the Separator until you have no more than seven rows of buttons so that 
the eighth button appears in the second column;
- Lock the Window List and the Separator to the panel.

Hope this helps.

I did that as well and was able to compile the code.  However, I guess I'm not

sure if there's another step after the "sudo dpkg -i *.deb" command?  I ran 
that and it seemed to complete, but then no changes after reboot.  How do I 
apply the changes or verify that the patches are in effect?

2008-11-02 Thread Dominik Lang
Hi all,

i've installed the 8.10 release today and noticed this bug is still
present. I've written a little shell-script that automates all the steps
outlined by paskma (thanks for the patches by the way) and fiddles with
the version numbers so that patch will not complain about it.

Things to note:
- use at your own risk (as with everything)
- it has been tested with a fresh Interpid Ibex installation (gnome-panel and 
libwnck versions: 2.24.1) and most probably also works with previous versions 
down to 2.22.0, 2.22.1 respectively.
- may also work in future releases
- Synaptic will want to update to the broken ones again afterwards, iirc.
- It doesn't update the Changelogs anymore, since their patches didn't work 
even with the modifications, and i'm too lazy to dig into the patch syntax.

So here it is: http://dominiklang.ch/gnome-panel-fix

Save the file in the directory of your choice, make it executable (if
you don't know how, you'll find a way in the file's settigns) and run it
with root privileges ($ sudo gnome-panel-fix).

Hi Mr. Dominik Lang,

I right clicked on the desktop and created a new empty file, copied the

it and renamed it as "gnome-panel-fix".

But when I opened a terminal, navigated to the desktop and ran "sudo

Would you kindly tell me what is wrong?

Paksma, thank you for these patches!
I can confirm that they work against libwnck-2.22.3 (in Ubuntu Hardy Heron) as 
well.

prl77: you do not need any additional actions after installing the
modified packages ("sudo dpkg -i") and restarting gnome-panel.

A partial solution for my widescreen laptop was the use of Separtors in an 
expanded panel to limit the growth of the Window List applet to a maximum of 7 
rows of buttons.
It's not an optimal solution but it is extremely easy to adopt and it works.

2008-11-02 Thread Dominik Lang
Hi all,

i've installed the 8.10 release today and noticed this bug is still
present. I've written a little shell-script that automates all the steps
outlined by paskma (thanks for the patches by the way) and fiddles with
the version numbers so that patch will not complain about it.

Things to note:
- use at your own risk (as with everything)
- it has been tested with a fresh Interpid Ibex installation (gnome-panel and 
libwnck versions: 2.24.1) and most probably also works with previous versions 
down to 2.22.0, 2.22.1 respectively.
- may also work in future releases
- Synaptic will want to update to the broken ones again afterwards, iirc.
- It doesn't update the Changelogs anymore, since their patches didn't work 
even with the modifications, and i'm too lazy to dig into the patch syntax.

So here it is: http://dominiklang.ch/gnome-panel-fix

Save the file in the directory of your choice, make it executable (if
you don't know how, you'll find a way in the file's settigns) and run it
with root privileges ($ sudo gnome-panel-fix).

Hi Mr. Dominik Lang,

I right clicked on the desktop and created a new empty file, copied the
text in http://dominiklang.ch/gnome-panel-fix and pasted it there, saved
it and renamed it as "gnome-panel-fix".

But when I opened a terminal, navigated to the desktop and ran "sudo
gnome-panel-fix" , it said "command not found". ;-(

Would you kindly tell me what is wrong?

Thanks.

That's exactly what I meant.
- Put a Separator a little below the Window List applet;
- Launch at least eight applications;
- Move the Separator until you have no more than seven rows of buttons so that 
the eighth button appears in the second column;
- Lock the Window List and the Separator to the panel.

Hope this helps.

This patch has been already discussed by GNOME developers in their bug
tracking system and it is still not appropriate. It is a very good
workaround at the mean time, but not good enough to be applied on
upstream project so this bug will stay open until GNOME developers (or
anyone else) make a complete patch that meet the needs.

2009-01-08 Thread doobydave
Would it not be possible to prompt a user to install the patch the
moment they decide to move the panel to a vertical position?

At each time a new user experiences this bug enough to be able to find
details about it (let's face it, it's not very clear why the machine
hangs - and only after it has occurred enough might a user guess where
the problem lies), they will be very disappointed to learn how old it
is.

I know this isn't the place to vent any frustration, but frankly I am
getting tired with Ubuntu's relentless 'progress' (well, the
implementation of many vista-like "Are you sure you're sure?" dialogs)
rather than fixing the mess made by two releases a year. Having seen
several bugs die with the discontinuation of support for previous
versions, I'm not so sure that there are sufficient resources to achieve
a single bug-free distro.

That's exactly what I meant.
- Put a Separator a little below the Window List applet;
- Launch at least eight applications;
- Move the Separator until you have no more than seven rows of buttons so that 
the eighth button appears in the second column;
- Lock the Window List and the Separator to the panel.

Hope this helps.

this bug still happens here on jaunty. I can open 8 windows and then it
hangs. The workaround using the separator does work, but it is not a
very nice workaround, since I's rather use all of the available vertical
space.

I've attached a new patch to bug
https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gnome-panel/+bug/43066 which
also fixes this bug.  It's minimally invasive, affecting on a single
file in libwnck22.
