Package: kwin Version: 4:3.5.0-4 Severity: normal
kwin (at least in default debian config) puts windows with WM_TRANSIENT_FOR property behind that window, making them completely unusable. For example, when ctrl-button3 clicking into a rxvt-unicode window the window loses focus and nothing seems to happen. When one clicks near the border you can see that the menu opens _behind_ the terminal window, with focus correctly set to it. While this is a correct implementation of the EWMH and ICCCM, which says: The WM_TRANSIENT_FOR property contains the ID of another top-level window. The implication is that this window is a pop-up on behalf of the named window, and window managers may decide not to decorate transient windows or may treat them differently in other ways. In particular, window managers should present newly mapped WM_TRANSIENT_FOR windows without requiring any user interaction, even if mapping top-level windows normally does require interaction. Dialogue boxes, for example, are an example of windows that should have WM_TRANSIENT_FOR set. it is extremely poor behaviour, and makes using menus with apps that only set WM_TRANSIENT_FOR impossible. -- System Information: Debian Release: testing/unstable APT prefers unstable APT policy: (500, 'unstable'), (500, 'testing'), (500, 'stable') Architecture: amd64 (x86_64) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/dash Kernel: Linux 2.6.15.1 Locale: LANG=C, LC_CTYPE=de_DE.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) Versions of packages kwin depends on: ii kdelibs4c2a 4:3.5.0-3 core libraries for all KDE applica ii libart-2.0-2 2.3.17-1 Library of functions for 2D graphi ii libaudio2 1.7-3 The Network Audio System (NAS).
