Package: gnome-panel
Version: 2.14.3-6
Severity: normal
According to the documnetation for the window list applet, the "Always
group windows": "Select this option to always group windows of the same
process under one Window List button". Unfortunately this isn't what it
does; it groups windows according to their window title, as far as I can
tell. It most definitely doesn't group according to process - try
running two copies of the following tk script:
#!/usr/bin/wish
button .b \
-text "Click to raise window 2" \
-command "raise .t"
pack .b
toplevel .t
pack [label .t.l -text "window 2"]
wm group .t .
You'll get two group buttons in the window list, but they're grouped by
window title, not by process at all. It's actually completely ignoring
the grouping hints that tk is using (which is what the wm group line
does).
Ideally, my users would like the applet to behave as it is documented,
but I realise that's probably quite hard to do, especially when the
process is remote.
But if it can't be fixed, the documentation should probably be changed
to more accurately reflect the behaviour of the program.
