Public bug reported: Binary package hint: compiz
The python application Wikidpad http://groups.google.com/group/wikidpad/web/home has an option to 'minimize to tray'. With the application in this mode, minimized or not, if I try to enable compiz via the 'Appearance' menu, the area of the screen occupied by wikidpad flickers for some time, after which the message 'could not enable desktop effects comes up. If I load the wikidpad application after compiz is started, it works fine (except for user switching) A related problem which I think is caused by the same bug is that if I switch users while compiz is enabled and wikidpad is running, the desktop crashes when I try to switch back to it. Wikidpad can be installed by downloading the source WikidPad-1.9beta18-src.zip from the above web page and running something like cd /usr/local/share/wikidpad export PYTHONPATH=/usr/local/share/wikidpad/lib python /usr/local/share/wikidpad/WikidPad.py $1 Minimize to tray is under 'Wiki / Options / User interface' regards, Jon ProblemType: Bug Architecture: i386 Date: Mon Oct 13 08:55:06 2008 DistroRelease: Ubuntu 8.04 NonfreeKernelModules: nvidia Package: compiz 1:0.7.4-0ubuntu7 PackageArchitecture: all ProcEnviron: SHELL=/bin/bash PATH=/usr/local/sbin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/bin:/sbin:/bin:/usr/games:/home/username/bin:/home/username/bin/home/ LANG=en_GB.UTF-8 SourcePackage: compiz Uname: Linux 2.6.24-19-generic i686 ** Affects: compiz (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New ** Tags: apport-bug -- compiz fails to start due to application in 'minimize to tray' mode https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/282558 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
