Package: fvwm Version: 1:2.5.30.ds-1 Severity: important Some programs, such as browsers, save size and position of their windows on exit. After restarting the program and restoring its session, a window may be placed outside of the (virtual) desktop. My relevant settings are: DeskTopSize 3 3 Style "*" SmartPlacement Style "*" RandomPlacement
If browser crashes when one part of the virtual desktop is displayed and then I restart the browser and restore its session when viewing another part, all the windows may appear outside of the desktop. Such windows are present in the WindowList but cannot receive focus, even for quitting the browser. I have to kill the process and either try to select another part of the virtual desktop, or manually edit config file where sessions were saved. So, the window manager does not perform its core function, this is why I am marking this bug as Important. I think at the very least, windows should receive focus via WindowList even when they are way outside of the desktop, and may be some function to bring them into accessible place should be added. -- System Information: Debian Release: 6.0.5 APT prefers stable APT policy: (500, 'stable') Architecture: i386 (x86_64) Kernel: Linux 3.4.11 (SMP w/2 CPU cores) Locale: LANG=ru_RU.KOI8-R, LC_CTYPE=ru_RU.KOI8-R (charmap=KOI8-R) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/bash Versions of packages fvwm depends on: ii libc6 2.11.3-3 Embedded GNU C Library: Shared lib ii libcairo2 1.8.10-6 The Cairo 2D vector graphics libra ii libfontconfig1 2.8.0-2.1 generic font configuration library ii libfreetype6 2.4.2-2.1+squeeze4 FreeType 2 font engine, shared lib ii libfribidi0 0.19.2-1 Free Implementation of the Unicode ii libglib2.0-0 2.24.2-1 The GLib library of C routines ii libgtk2.0-0 2.20.1-2 The GTK+ graphical user interface ii libice6 2:1.0.6-2 X11 Inter-Client Exchange library ii libncurses5 5.7+20100313-5 shared libraries for terminal hand ii libpng12-0 1.2.44-1+squeeze4 PNG library - runtime ii libreadline6 6.1-3 GNU readline and history libraries ii librplay3 3.3.2-12 rplay network audio system - share ii librsvg2-2 2.26.3-1 SAX-based renderer library for SVG ii libsm6 2:1.1.1-1 X11 Session Management library ii libstroke0 0.5.1-6 mouse strokes library -- runtime f ii libx11-6 2:1.3.3-4 X11 client-side library ii libxcursor1 1:1.1.10-2 X cursor management library ii libxext6 2:1.1.2-1 X11 miscellaneous extension librar ii libxft2 2.1.14-2 FreeType-based font drawing librar ii libxinerama1 2:1.1-3 X11 Xinerama extension library ii libxpm4 1:3.5.8-1 X11 pixmap library ii libxrender1 1:0.9.6-1 X Rendering Extension client libra ii zlib1g 1:1.2.3.4.dfsg-3 compression library - runtime Versions of packages fvwm recommends: ii fvwm-icons 20070101-1 icon *.xpm files from fvwm develop pn libx11-protocol-perl <none> (no description available) ii perl-tk 1:804.029-1+b1 Perl module providing the Tk graph Versions of packages fvwm suggests: ii cpp 4:4.4.5-1 The GNU C preprocessor (cpp) pn fvwm-themes <none> (no description available) ii m4 1.4.14-3 a macro processing language ii menu 2.1.44 generates programs menu for all me ii wm-icons 0.4.0-5 Themed icon set that is Window Man -- debconf information: * fvwm/upgrade/pre_2.5.8: true -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
