[Bug 221416] New: The (set_viewport #) and (maximize) options do not work properly together using the devilspie package.
https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=221416 Summary: The (set_viewport #) and (maximize) options do not work properly together using the devilspie package. Product: openSUSE 10.2 Version: Beta 2 plus Platform: Other OS/Version: Other Status: NEW Severity: Major Priority: P5 - None Component: Other AssignedTo: bnc-team-screening@forge.provo.novell.com ReportedBy: jharmon@novell.com QAContact: qa@suse.de I am testing out the new set_viewport option within devilspie which is supposed to allow you to place an application window on a different view port when xgl is running. The package and OS information is as follows: -openSUSE 10.2 beta2plus -devilspie-0.18-12 -compiz-gnome-0.2.2-12 -compiz-0.2.2-12 In this example I am trying to place firefox and evolution on two separate view ports. Below is my configuration which works so far. ---- firefox.ds ---- (if (matches (application_name) "Firefox") (begin (set_viewport 3) ) ) ---- evolution.ds ---- (if (matches (application_name) "evolution-2.8") (begin (set_viewport 4) ) ) If I add a (maximize) option then it will work only if I add it to firefox, but if I add it to both firefox and evolution then the viewport option doesn't work any more. ---- firefox.ds ---- (if (matches (application_name) "Firefox") (begin (set_viewport 3) (maximize) ) ) ---- evolution.ds ---- (if (matches (application_name) "evolution-2.8") (begin (set_viewport 4) (maximize) ) -- 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, or are watching someone who is.

The set_viewport thing was a bug in compiz. David has checked in a fix, but apparently it hasn't been built yet, as I am still seeing the bug in the latest beta.
Hmm, yeah I remember you telling me about that bug and that is why I went and performed this test on openSUSE first because the compiz version that was in stable had the following in the changelog. * Mon Nov 13 2006 - dreveman@suse.de - Fix support for _NET_MOVERESIZE_WINDOW. #220114 And this is the one that I am using. -- 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, or are watching someone who is.

I'm using compiz 0.3.4 and having no problems at all.

I really need this for a Brainshare presentation that I am putting together. I wanted to be able to show some productivity using XGL and devilspie. I have tried other commands with the set_viewport as well and they appear to work. So far I have only seen an issue when maximize and set_viewport are being use together. -- 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, or are watching someone who is.
https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=221416 ------- Comment #5 from jharmon@novell.com 2006-12-28 12:20 MST ------- Whats interesting is I just tested gedit and it worked just fine with both commands. I tested evolution and sometimes it works and other times it doesn't (possibly depending on the order). I test with firefox and the two commands don't work together at all. -- 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, or are watching someone who is.

If I launch gedit though a terminal command then it seems to work some of the time. If I launch gedit using a shortcut icon that I have on my panel then it doesn't work. I didn't get the same results with firefox. -- 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, or are watching someone who is.

One with an nvidia card and the other with an ati card. The compiz-kde-0.3.5-0.1 and the compiz-gnome-0.3.5-0.1 were packages that were not installed before so I don't know if they are causing the issue or not. I still get the cube effects but no window decorator. -- 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, or are watching someone who is.

If I run gtk-window-decorator --replace & then I get the window decorator to show up.

In my testing, set_viewport always worked if it was the only command, but things went bad if I combined it with any others. Specifically, one of the commands just didn't do anything. Putting in a 5s sleep after the set_viewport made things work fine, so I'd agree that there appears to be some timing-related issue. David, am I doing something wrong here, or is there a race of some sort in compiz? -- 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, or are watching someone who is.
https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=221416 ------- Comment #18 from dreveman@novell.com 2007-02-01 17:15 MST ------- Are you using wobbly effects for when windows appear? That will likely cause issues as the wobbly plugin likes to update the window position when the window stops wobbling. I should fix that but I suggest that you turn off wobble on map for now if that's causing the issue. It's going to be turned off by default in SP1. -- 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, or are watching someone who is.

I was going to have devilspie as part of my presentation and have not removed it since we are still having this issue. If we can't get his fixed before beta 5 then I hope that we can get it in for SP1.
