I don't have time to create an account on every upstream package provider's bug tracker. Do you not take ownership of problems yourselves? I thought that was one of the distinguishing factors of Ubuntu - one organisation for the end-user to deal with. Anyway, I've fixed it for me, using the klud

2014-11-09 Thread Denny de la Haye
Public bug reported: I believe this is the same as Bug #1335558 (and the other bugs it references), just a different printer model (same make as that bug though, so might be worth investigating the other printers in the same range from Lexmark, if that's possible). The workaround in the comments

Interesting about the debian/ubuntu versions! All I can say is that the first time I wrote code using File::Pid, it worked on my home machine (Ubuntu 10.04 I think) but failed when deployed on my server (CentOS), and it took me ages to find that RT bug report which explained why. This has continue

Wasn't the point made above that window titles are insufficiently (a) stable and (b) unique for them to be used as the hook for remembering placement? -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1243

"The code in coment #14 requires that the application set WM_WINDOW_ROLE properly." That's not a reason to make this bug invalid then, is it? In fact, quite the contrary. If this bug is marked invalid, and no WM (or DE) level support for placement is ever added, there's little incentive for appl

"This is not the job of the window manager" Why? Devils Pie shows that this can be handled at a higher level, and indeed it seems to me to make much more sense to handle it at a higher level - then you can handle overlaps etc in a graceful fashion. Just because remembering window placement isn't

2010-06-24 Thread Denny de la Haye
Metacity doesn't do a very good job of minimising overlap - it places windows firstly into any empty space which is big enough for the entire window, and if there isn't a space big enough to do that, it places the window at top-left regardless of where the largest remaining space is on the screen.

WRONG. Have you even read the bug report? The bug is not only in Metacity, therefore it's not only down to Metacity devs to fix it. Compiz has the same problem, for instance. Integration of Devil's Pie with GNOME seems like the most obvious solution to me, but someone else might have a better id
