** Description changed: - Alltray doesn't work properly with compiz (Desktop Effects). If you - click on the window it does nothing. Probably, there a problem with - window detection. Minimazing with syntax alltray program work fine. + Rewriting the description per the requirements listed at + https://wiki.ubuntu.com/StableReleaseUpdates + + AllTray does not interact with windows in “click-mode” when Compiz is + the active window manager for the system. In other words, when using + Compiz as the window manager, one cannot dock already-running + applications to the system tray/notification area by starting AllTray + and then clicking on the application's window. + + The cause of this issue was lack of special-case handling for Compiz + within the AllTray code. Specifically, it would appear that AllTray + must treat Compiz one way for one code path, and another way for the + other one. The debdiff attached to this bug provides code that does + this. There was another fix supplied for this bug previously, but given + the fragility of the AllTray code base, it conflicted with another patch + and the situation had to be resolved again---which is what this patch + does. + + TEST CASE: + * Run Ubuntu Gutsy or Hardy using the available version of AllTray. + * Install AllTray. + * Activate Desktop Effects. + * Start a program (I use gcalctool as my “test” program) + * Start AllTray with no command line parameters. It will prompt you to click on a window that you want to dock. + * Click on your test program and find that the thing doesn’t work. + + Given the (relative) triviality surrounding the patch, I believe that + there is little to no chance of regression potential. This patch has + been tested and I have been actively using it in Hardy for some time + now, without any functionality removed from the AllTray package or the + introduction of any new bugs within it. + + A note: This is not a security patch. It is only a bug-fix. + + The debdiff attached to this bug is against the currently released + version in Hardy (0.69-1ubuntu1). It will result in 0.69-1ubuntu2, + which should be uploaded to hardy-proposed as per the + https://wiki.ubuntu.com/StableReleaseUpdates page. I will be watching + for the upload in -proposed, and monitoring the bugs for AllTray for a + minimum period of one week as per the SRU procedures.
