I just looked at 11_buddy_list_really_show.patch--yikes. It does things that are very heavy-handed. The application really should not do all this stuff just to show the buddy list:
gtk_widget_show(GTK_WIDGET(gtkblist->window)); gtk_window_deiconify(GTK_WINDOW(gtkblist->window)); gtk_window_present(GTK_WINDOW(gtkblist->window)); gtk_window_set_keep_above(GTK_WINDOW(gtkblist->window), TRUE); gtk_window_stick(GTK_WINDOW(gtkblist->window)); It's... kind of ridiculous. Without this patch Pidgin calls only gtk_window_present. The documentation for this function is quite clear on its behavior: http://library.gnome.org/devel/gtk/stable/GtkWindow.html#gtk-window- present I'm curious to know who wrote this patch, and if that person has prior experience working on gtk applications. I am not familiar with the problem that this patch attempts to fix, but I'm quite sure that this patch is not the correct solution. An application should not attempt to override the desires of the window manager. -- Buddy List taskbar icon shows on all virtual desktops https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/346840 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
