In fact while in the overview mode, you can even catch hold of these applications (keep left mouse button pressed on the application) and move them to the other workspaces! Once this ugliness happens, it keeps happening unless gnome-shell is restarted, upon which it disappears and I get back the sane arrangement of current workspace windows in the activities overview. Please have a look at the attached screenshot to see what I mean. This happens on all sorts of graphics cards by the way. I have seen this on my ATI chipset with open-source radeon drivers, on Nvidia chipsets with the nouveau drivers and on Intel's chipsets too. Reproducible: Sometimes Steps to Reproduce: 1. 2. 3. Actual Results: Windows from workspaces below current workspace shows up unexpectedly in the current activities overview. Expected Results: Only current workspace windows are supposed to be seen in the activities workspace. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.

Indeed! Just saw the problem happen. Killed gconfd-2 and the problem was resolved. If you know gconf 3.2.3 solves this problem, I would love to take up an online-update for gconf in openSUSE 12.1.

You'd need to test it, but I've not seen this issue in Factory... If you can easily reproduce the issue (for instance: if after 1 day, you always get this), then maybe try rebuilding the gconf2 package from G:F and test it. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.

As I said I don't really have a trigger for this issue, but since updating to gconf 3.2.3, I have not seen it happen even once. So this might be fixed by the update. Now, only if I had a way of reliably reproducing this, I would have been absolutely sure... So really, your call.
