[opensuse-factory] Compiz 0.78 and kde43beta1 - kicker/systray panel gets stuck at times??
Listmates, I have been trying to figure out what is going on with kicker while compiz is running on 4.3beta1. I have it set to autohide and it seems like the panel just gets "stuck" hidden from time to time. I say stuck because when I move the mouse to the bottom of the screen, I can see the panel "shadow" or "glow" appear across the edge of the screen, but no matter how many times I bounce the mouse against the bottom edge, the panel will not unhide. Now when this occurs, if I deliberately change the focus to some other place, like inside a window (kwrite, firefox, whatever), then the panel will unhide like normal. So with compiz running, the "focus" gets lost or stuck somewhere until it is force back to a known location. Almost like the present focus location is stored in some array and somebody is counting from 1 instead of zero and when the focus window is the zero element, the panel is stuck and won't work. I don't know, that is just a wild guess, but the focus is stuck somewhere that is preventing the panel from unhiding. Does anyone have any ideas about what to check on this one? Any body else seeing it? -- David C. Rankin, J.D.,P.E.

It's not called kicker in KDE4. Now it's just a (plasma) panel. It always strikes me as funny, that no matter what problems people have when using Compiz, they always instinctively blame the other component involved ;-) If you don't want problems, use the native window manager. It's not like Compiz ever integrated well with KDE3 kicker either... :-( -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-factory+help@opensuse.org

Well, Not true; I have been using compiz with kde3 since the 0.5.2 days and kicker integrations wasn't a problem. In kde4 the problem looks more like a focus (window counting) issue than anything else. As for the kde4 desktop effects, they are getting there, but there is no replacement for 'expo' and the kde effect look ragged compared to the compiz counterparts. Now I wrote this thread not to debate the pluses or minuses of kde de verses compiz integration, but to get an answer as to what may be going on that is preventing the 'plasmoid' panel from unhiding. That's what I'm trying to find out. Anybody got an idea? What mother-focusing problem do we have here? -- David C. Rankin, J.D.,P.E.
