I installed Ubuntu 8.10 on an even more powerful and recent machine. This bug did not show. And yet it was present on the previous 8.10 test!
I remembered replying this to a question from Jonathan Thomas : > So, if you speak of System|Preferences|Appearance|Visual Effects, the > answer is "None". https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/metacity/+bug/202456/comments/9 I turned VE to "None" and there was that bug again. CONCLUSION : this bug shows only under Visual Effects = None (metacity) I am very sorry that my hardware made it unable to set VE to anything else than None and that those running with Visual Effects were able to lower VE to none but did not report making that test. I'm sorry to use less powerful hardware. I was under the impression that Linux was made to run on cheaper hardware than what other systems need. After 1 year, THIS BUG NEEDS ATTENTION if we agree on that. -- Gnome wine runs programs without minimize button and with type-through https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/202456 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Desktop Bugs, which is subscribed to metacity in ubuntu. -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs
