Public bug reported: Short repro steps: 1. Add "System Monitor" as a gnome panel. 2. Install and run the game "supertux" (or basically any other fullscreen SDL game).
Detailed repro steps: 1. Boot Hardy live CD. 2. Right click gnome panel in the top gray area, maybe 2 cm left of the blue help icon. 3. Select the "Add to Panel" menu item 4. Select "System Monitor" (it's quite far down the list with greenish icon). 5. Add universe as source in apt. 6. Run "sudo apt-get install supertux" to install a SDL game. 7. Select Applications::Games::Supertux2 Expected results: Gnome panel items should not engage in Z-order fighting with supertux while supertux is running in fullscreen. Actual results: Gnome insists on updating the panel CPU meter and also some other thing so basically two big black boxes appear along the top of the screen inside supertux. They just randomly flicker and it makes the game more or less unplayable. ** Affects: meta-gnome2 (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New -- Gnome panel flickers through into fullscreen SDL games https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/237955 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
