Control: affects -1 + src:marco
[ Reason ]
In cases where users run KDE apps such as kwrite or kcalc in a MATE
desktop session as superuser it happens that window titles in
mate-panel/tasklist (libwnck) show only " (as superuser)". When trying
nedit, nedit-ng, and gedit, etc. those don't seem to trigger this.
[ Impact ]
UI/UX improvement for MATE users using KDE apps.
[ Tests ]
Code review. Local test on bookworm system (launch kwrite as root in
MATE desktop session). Issue reported in #1040752 could be reproduced.
Updating to marco 1.26.1-3+deb12u1 resolves the issue.
[ Risks ]
Minimal. MATE's window manager might show regressions in handling window
titles.
[ Checklist ]
[x] *all* changes are documented in the d/changelog
[x] I reviewed all changes and I approve them
[x] attach debdiff against the package in (old)stable
[x] the issue is verified as fixed in unstable
[ Changes ]
+ * debian/patches:
+ + Add 0004_show-correct-window-title-when-owned-by-superuser.patch. Fix
+ window titles sometimes shown incorrectly when owned as root. This
+ affects mostly KDE apps if they are run on MATE. (Closes: #1040752).
[ Other info ]
None.
