Re: [Bug 150690] Re: Compiz Gutsy : Can't drag a window to another workspace
NOTE I've not looked at the code in question - though I plan to - this is just some potential insight into the situation. Seems to me, if compiz was "taking over" for the other multi-workspace code, it might do just what was observed - force the number of workspaces (from all the other/old codes perspective) to be 1, so it could render its own new-style workspaces into that one old-style workspace. If that's whats going on this starts to make more sense.

Re: [Bug 150690] Re: Compiz Gutsy : Can't drag a window to another workspace
I'm unaware of expo's drag/drop interface, so I can't comment, other than to say I found it REALLY REALLY useful to be able to move windows from workspace to workspace (on or off of the current workspace, for example) before this bug was introduced. Indeed, it _was_ a great way to "manage my windows". I'm happy to see some other people taking interest in this bug; it's a significant usability problem. -pbr http://reiber.org On Wed, May 6, 2009 at 5:44 AM, dougfractal wrote: > IMO the switcher should be like a mini 'expo' when in compiz mode, and > classic style when in metacity. > > 2009/5/6 wdesmet > >> @paul beardsell: that sets the window manager back to metacity instead >> of compiz which is why it works again. >> >> The 'about' option on the workspace switcher states: >> "The Workspace Switcher shows you a small version of your workspaces that >> lets you manage your windows." >> >> It allows you to do no such thing now.

IMO the switcher should be like a mini 'expo' when in compiz mode, and classic style when in metacity. 2009/5/6 wdesmet > @paul beardsell: that sets the window manager back to metacity instead > of compiz which is why it works again. > > The 'about' option on the workspace switcher states: > "The Workspace Switcher shows you a small version of your workspaces that > lets you manage your windows." > > It allows you to do no such thing now.

Interesting... maybe this can help the developers w/ their debugging. -pbr http://reiber.org On Sun, Apr 26, 2009 at 8:51 AM, Paul Beardsell wrote: > I would like this fixed.

Re: [Bug 150690] Re: Compiz Gutsy : Can't drag a window to another workspace
I have no idea when this will-be/should-be/was fixed; I'm simply the guy who reported the problem. As a "post mortem" (if they/you/we are doing those) it'd be great to analyze this bug and see why it has taken so long to get it fixed (esp. since it _used_ to work!) I think it works under at least _some_ conditions now... happy to do some testing to verify; I'll follow up with another email after I do that.
