[Pkg-xfce-devel] Bug#443690: xfwm4: wrong display chosen in multi-head setup when using startup notification
Package: xfwm4
Version: 4.4.1-3
Severity: important
I've been running xfce4 for awhile now using a multi-head disply
configuration (:0.0 and :0.1, no Xinerama). Most of my menu items have
"Use startup notification" checked. Up until a recent update (I assume
the update to 4.4.1-3 today when I ran an update), this wasn't an issue
as any application I would start up would end up displaying on the
display from which I clicked on the menu item initially.
Now, however, when I try to open an application from the menu
which has startup notification enabled, the application always starts on
display :0.0 even though my mouse and the menu itself is displayed on
:0.1. Unchecking the option in the menu editor allows all of the
applications I try to open on :0.1 to show up correctly on that
particular display.
I assume the startup notification feature somehow uses an
invisible widget or something to work in the first place and for
whatever reason, this is always being bound to display :0.0 currently.
This is purely conjecture of course though.
I can downgrade to 4.4.1-2+b1 again if you want me to in order
to test this. But I might have to rebuild against Xorg 1.4. I'm not
certain though. Actually, I guess it might even be a "feature" of Xorg
1.4 since that was also upgraded in my update today I believe. If you
don't think anything that changed between say 4.4.1-2 and 4.4.1-3 would
have affected this, you might bounce this over to the Xorg package
maintainers. I imagine other people will probably run into this problem
though if that is the case and the xfce maintainers might now about it
upstream already too.
Thanks.
