Package: metacity Version: 1:2.14.5-1 Severity: wishlist Tags: patch Many people wish to be able to double click the menu button (which is by default on the upper left) in order to close a window. See the discussion at http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=83892
There Thomas Thurman provides a small patch, which *just works* (I just tested it). You can grab the patch from http://bugzilla.gnome.org/attachment.cgi?id=67516&action=view The gnome devs find the patch ok, but nevertheless they decided not to include it by default, unless many distros will be applying it. Comment from Elijah Newren (metacity developer): "I think Thomas' patch is great, as it will allow us to point people to it if they are really adamant if they want it. I'm assuming it'll be a small minority. But if by chance it actually gets picked up and widely distributed and appears in most of the distros (which has happened in similar cases with other patches in the past, but is really unlikely and rare but is a great way of demonstrating that we perhaps made the wrong decision about a feature) then we can start having a discussion about whether we should reconsider whether to include it." So I ask you to apply this patch in debian, so our distro will be one of the "pioneers" wrt applying the patch. I think many people will say: "Gee, in debian's metacity one can double click the menu button in order to close the window. That distro is really cool! They care about their users!" If someone really doesn't want that feature, he still has the option to leave it disabled, as there is an appropriate gconf option for turning it on and off. -- System Information: Debian Release: testing/unstable APT prefers testing APT policy: (500, 'testing'), (1, 'experimental') Architecture: i386 (i686) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/bash Kernel: Linux 2.6.16-2-k7 Locale: LANG=de_DE.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=de_DE.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) Versions of packages metacity depends on: ii libatk1.0-0 1.12.1-1 The ATK accessibility toolkit ii libc6 2.3.6-15 GNU C Library: Shared libraries ii libgconf2-4 2.14.0-1 GNOME configuration database syste ii libglib2.0-0 2.10.3-3 The GLib library of C routines ii libgtk2.0-0 2.8.18-1 The GTK+ graphical user interface ii libice6 1:1.0.0-3 X11 Inter-Client Exchange library ii libmetacity0 1:2.14.5-1 library of lightweight GTK2 based ii libpango1.0-0 1.12.3-1+b1 Layout and rendering of internatio ii libsm6 1:1.0.0-4 X11 Session Management library ii libstartup-notification0 0.8-1 library for program launch feedbac ii libx11-6 2:1.0.0-7 X11 client-side library ii libxcursor1 1.1.5.2-5 X cursor management library ii libxext6 1:1.0.0-4 X11 miscellaneous extension librar ii libxinerama1 1:1.0.1-4 X11 Xinerama extension library ii libxrandr2 2:1.1.0.2-4 X11 RandR extension library ii libxrender1 1:0.9.0.2-4 X Rendering Extension client libra ii metacity-common 1:2.14.5-1 Shared files of lightweight GTK2 b metacity recommends no packages. -- no debconf information -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
