Bug#394349: compiz: some windows are unaffected
Package: compiz
Version: 0.5.2-2
Followup-For: Bug #394349
Hello,
I just installed sid on my laptop and was bitten by this bug. But I have
more info.
First of all, gnome-terminal windows are much more affected than other
applications. I do notice some slight slowdown for other apps, but
gnome-terminal has a clear 2 seconds delay between the moment I move the
border, and the moment it starts moving. After that delay the move is
quite fast but seems to happen in multiple jerky steps instead of
fluidly. During the delay everything freezes on my screen.
Much more interresting : windows that I started before launching compiz
are unaffected. I start gnome with metacity, create some windows
(terminals are good candidates because it's so easy to spot), then start
compiz --replace in a terminal. All those windows react normaly to
resizing. But if I start another terminal it will be a hog to resize,
and freeze my display while waiting.
Maximizing displays the same behaviour. Pre-compiz terminals are ok,
post-compiz terminals have a clear delay before maximizing. One more
symptom in this case, the maximized terminal window is blank until I
click on it.
Ok, enough for tonight, don't hesitate to ask for more info or tests.
Thanks for your great work,
