[Bug 43066] Re: Window list behaves bad when panel is vertical.
For people who still want a Gnome2-like desktop with a vertical panel like the one described in this bug report: We have recently extended the the Xfce (Xubuntu) panel to support a vertical panel/horizontal items layout. Changes go well beyond the tasklist. Starting from Xfce 4.10, vertical "deskbar" is one of three supported panel modes and all plugins are (expected to be) aware of it. To see how it works, you need to change the panel "mode" and "number of rows" (a bit unfortunate name - in vertical panels "rows" are "columns"). -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to the bug report. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/43066 Title: Window list behaves bad when panel is vertical.

Hello, I'm just confirming that this bug still exists in the following gnome- panel version: gnome-panel 1:2.32.1-0ubuntu6.5 The fix described in my original post https://bugs.launchpad.net/gnome-panel/+bug/43066/comments/39 still seems to be a valid fix for the problem. What do we need to do next in order to get this patch incorporated into the ubuntu package?

Natty 11.04 released -- gnome-panel 1:2.32.1-0ubuntu6.4 is in 'natty- proposed' and the problem is still present. I followed Craig's instructions in https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gnome- panel/+bug/43066/comments/39 , replaced the gnome-panel package (and only the gnome-panel package), and the window-list applet doesn't have the strobing effect when oriented vertically anymore.

Moose, It is true that Craig's solution does not work with libwnck22 1:2.30.0-0ubuntu1. However, you can add Maverick repository and force libwnck version to 2.30.5. This may cause version consistency issue with some packages later, hence not recommended, however I was able to the get the vertical window list work properly in Lucid. Like others said, this problem has been around for years, and still no fix. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is a direct subscriber. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/43066 Title: Window list behaves bad when panel is vertical. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
[Bug 43066] Re: Window list behaves bad when panel is vertical.
Craig's last path works very well for me.
For non programmers, you could add a few details :
1) after running :
apt-get source gnome-panel
apt-get build-dep gnome-panel
... you'll have a new folder named "gnome-panel-xxx" ("xxx" might change, for
me it's "2.30.2").
The file that you need to modify is located in
"gnome-panel-xxx/applets/wncklet/window-list.c".
2) once you're done, use your terminal to navigate to "gnome-panel-xxx" and
type "dpkg-buildpackage". It might take some time to compile the whole thing.
3) when it's done, type "cd .." and "ls". You should see several ".deb"
packages.
I only installed one : "gnome-panel_xxx-1ubuntu3_i386.deb" (is it necessary to
re-install the others?). To install it, type : "sudo dpkg --install
gnome-panel_xxx-1ubuntu3_i386.deb"
4) when it's done, type "killall wnck-applet" : a prompt (or several ones) will
ask you if you want to restart the program, answer yes. The problem is now
fixed !
Thank you Craig !
That said, it's sad to see that this bug is still present 4 years after its
discovery.
The fix appears to be simple, and the problem is quite annoying.

[Bug 43066] Re: Window list behaves bad when panel is vertical.
This problem can be solved with by adding 1 line of code to window- list.c within the gnome-panel source. First ensure you have the latest versions of gnome-panel and libwnck22. dpkg -l gnome-panel libwnck22 ii gnome-panel 1:2.30.2-1ubuntu3launcher and docking facility for GNOME ii libwnck221:2.30.5-0ubuntu1Window Navigator Construction Kit - runtime files Then get the source and build dependencies apt-get source gnome-panel apt-get build-dep gnome-panel Edit applets/wncklet/window-list.c in your favourite editor and add this line of code to the beginning of function tasklist_update, just before the if statement. wnck_tasklist_set_orientation(tasklist->tasklist, tasklist->orientation); Build the package with dpkg-buildpackage, and install the .deb file for gnome-panel. Alternatively, use the attached patch file instead of manually editing the source code.

In Lucid (GNOME Panel 2.30.0), I get weird behaviour (oscillation between 1 and 2 columns) when the number of windows in the list exceeds eight. This is about half the height available for the panel. Since I did not see a step-by-step description here before, I'll add one. To reproduce: - Move the taskbar to the right edge of the screen - Go to a desktop without any windows - Make sure "Never group windows" and "Show windows from current workspace" is selected - Open nine terminals - Try to select one of them from the sidebar.

Yay, this bug has finally been triaged! That means we'll see a fix soon, right? Right? Especially since the upstream bug has an attached patch that fixes it?

[Bug 43066] Re: Window list behaves bad when panel is vertical.
This is a duplicate of 152838. The root cause is that libwnck (the window list) is providing a size hint based on the desired width of the buttons * the number of columns (based on 25 characters visible), and gnome-panel using that hint to determine the vertical size of the switcher. -- Window list behaves bad when panel is vertical. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/43066 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is a direct subscriber. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

I understand it is not like solving world hunger, but it is a pain. You don't want the window list on top because that's where apps put their menus, and you want to mouse there quickly. You don't want it on the bottom if you use a laptop because you lose the bottom when you detach from a large screen monitor. The left is the rational choice, but this bug blocks it. -- Window list behaves bad when panel is vertical. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/43066 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is a direct subscriber. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

untagging from the hardy desktop list, that's not something we have ressources to change this cycle without upstream and not a high priority issue neither ** Tags removed: qa-hardy-desktop -- Window list behaves bad when panel is vertical. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/43066 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is a direct subscriber. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

You comment on a bug which has been opened before GNOME 2.20 so your issue is a different one, it looks rather bug #187540 -- Window list behaves bad when panel is vertical. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/43066 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is a direct subscriber. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

I've recorded demonstration of this bug, it can be found here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dhCbnq08roA It shows how the gnome panel completely freezes when more than 7 windows is opened. Demonstrated on Hardy Alpha4, GNOME 2.21. This bug makes vertical panel usage completely unusable. This bug appeared in GNOME 2.20 (in 2.18 it was not perfect but it worked). There are patches available in GNOME bugzilla #86382 but they were not integrated. -- Window list behaves bad when panel is vertical. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/43066 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is a direct subscriber. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
