Category: None Group: None Status: Open Resolution: None >Priority: 3 Private: No Submitted By: dooglus (dooglus) Assigned to: Nobody/Anonymous (nobody) Summary: dialog windows are hard to find in XFCE4 Initial Comment: Studio creates dialog windows with the 'utility' window manager hint by default. This makes the dialogs not appear in the taskbar. In GNOME, metacity will pop all the dialogs to the front whenever you switch to the toolbox or a canvas window, but when running xfwm4 (XFCE4's window manager) the dialogs are never brought to the front. This makes it hard to find them - they tend to get lost underneath full-screened web browsers or other windows. I started a thread on the XFCE4 development list about this, unsure whether this is a bug in their window manager or in synfig studio: http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.comp.desktop.xfce.devel.version4/13454 ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Comment By: dooglus (dooglus) Date: 2007-04-06 17:18 Message: Logged In: YES user_id=1546005 Originator: YES Partially fixed - dialogs now jump to the front when the toolbox window is clicked, but not when the workspace windows are: r441 | dooglus | 2007-04-06 16:28:25 +0200 (Fri, 06 Apr 2007) | 4 lines Changed paths: M /synfig-studio/trunk/src/gtkmm/dockdialog.cpp Set the dialog windows to be 'transient for' the toolbox window. In XFCE4 this makes all the dialogs jump to the front when the toolbox is brought to the front. In GNOME this was happening already. Ideally, selecting any workspace window should bring all dialogs to the front. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- You can respond by visiting: https://sourceforge.net/tracker/?func=detail&atid=757416&aid=1694957&group_id=144022 ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Take Surveys.
