I am also having this problem. Additional notes: This happens even on the most primitive X11 applications. Even applications like the Rosetta Code X11 xlib application. This happens regardless of if you use XCreate window or XCreateSimpleWindow. Additionally, even if you change the window title, the window title in bar does not appear.
This bug does not seem to happen with Xt, Gnome, KDE and similar applications. This bug is VERY annoying. Hopefully this helps move things along. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to metacity in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1568852 Title: missing title bar for some applications Status in metacity package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Bug description: Some applications are missing the titlebar in gnome-session-flashback with Metacity. Standard GNOME applications are not affected, but some that use Xlib directly, like mupdf or feh, are. Steps to reproduce: - Use mupdf to display any .pdf file, or use feh to display any image file. Expected result: - A window with a title bar appears. Actual result: - A window without title bar, but thicker borders, appears. - This does not always happen; sometimes, the title bars appear just fine. - see attached screenshot Things I tried: - Enabling/disabling org.gnome.metacity.compositing-manager via dconf-editor doesn't make a difference. - In an Xlib-based program I wrote myself, I could get rid of this by doing a dummy call to XSetWMNormalHints() with BaseSize set to the window size I was using anyway and MinSize set to 1x1. metacity: Installed: 1:3.18.3-1ubuntu2 Candidate: 1:3.18.3-1ubuntu2 Version table: *** 1:3.18.3-1ubuntu2 500 500 http://de.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu xenial/main amd64 Packages 100 /var/lib/dpkg/status Description: Ubuntu Xenial Xerus (development branch) Release: 16.04 To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/metacity/+bug/1568852/+subscriptions -- Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~desktop-packages Post to : desktop-packages@lists.launchpad.net Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~desktop-packages More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
