[Desktop-packages] [Bug 912702] Re: [MASTER] Endlessly many Wireless Network Authentication Required dialogs put up

2012-10-28 Thread Greg Merchan
The code for showing this dialog is rather ugly. It even has a function show_ignore_focus_stealing_prevention() which is bad X11 citizenship. A patch to get rid of such things, use gtk_window_set_urgency_hint() instead, and keep track of the dialogs would allow whatever problem is causing

[Desktop-packages] [Bug 1071937] [NEW] Documentation did not build correctly

2012-10-26 Thread Greg Merchan
Public bug reported: Something went wrong in the build of the documentation for libxt in at least Quantal. Many of the function prototypes (maybe all) in /usr/share/doc/libxt-dev/intrinsics.html have a prefix fsfunc on their names. I don't see that string anywhere in the source, so perhaps the

U+20E3 for combining enclosing keycap U+21E7 for Shift U+2387 for Alt U+2388 for Control (This is now feature on many keyboards since MS adopted it.) So, Shift+Ctrl+S could look like ⇧⎈S or ⇧⃣⎈⃣S⃣ (I wonder how that will look on launchpad once I post the comment.) Home, Escape, function keys,

Guess there's no way to withdraw a comment. This is an old bug present in perhaps every X toolkit and window manager. Fixing it requires fixing both of those and perhaps the applications, depending on how the toolkit is fixed. There is at present either not the knowledge or not the will to make

This bug is not a duplicate of a similar bug in either compiz or metacity. This is a bug in Nautilus. The solution of the problem the user sees requires changes to both regular applications and window managers. ** This bug is no longer a duplicate of bug 29560 drag drop improvement: delay

Zach is correct; this is not a duplicate of bug #29560. That bug is a filed against metacity, which is only one of the components contributing to the failure of Ubuntu to provide a smooth DnD experience. As written, the summary and report do not describe the commonly desired behavior for DnD.

I added comments on GNOME bugzilla, but I have more comments relevant to just Ubuntu. When this locks up, there is almost no way out for me. Ctrl+Alt+Backspace hasn't worked in a long time, so that's not an option. Ctrl+Alt+1 (or 2-6) works, but because of some other bug (NVIDIA, perhaps) the VT

[Desktop-packages] [Bug 882856] [NEW] Text is misleading in Universal Access settings panel

2011-10-27 Thread Greg Merchan
Public bug reported: On the Pointing and Clicking page of the Universal Access settings panel there is a toggle for a Simulated Secondary Click. By conventional American English, a secondary click would perhaps be the second click of a double-click, but really it just doesn't make any sense. What
