https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=714535 https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=714535#c0 Summary: add patch for modern drag-to-tile support to xfwm4 Classification: openSUSE Product: openSUSE 11.4 Version: Final Platform: All OS/Version: openSUSE 11.4 Status: NEW Severity: Enhancement Priority: P5 - None Component: Xfce AssignedTo: bnc-team-xfce@forge.provo.novell.com ReportedBy: nick.steeves@shaw.ca QAContact: qa@suse.de Found By: --- Blocker: --- User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; Linux i686) AppleWebKit/535.1 (KHTML, like Gecko) Chrome/13.0.782.215 Safari/535.1 Drag-to-tile window management seems to have become a standard feature. (MacOS, Windows 7, KDE4, GNOME3) and will be part XFCE 4.10. If this patch proves itself to be stable, it would enhance the openSUSE desktop experience, by providing greater consistency between environments. There is a patch that adds drag-to-tile support to XFWM4 (4.8) here: https://bugzilla.xfce.org/attachment.cgi?id=3238&action=edit It's from this XFCE bug report: https://bugzilla.xfce.org/show_bug.cgi?id=6648 Could we test it for incorporation into openSUSE 12.1? I'd put a modified xfwm4 into OBS myself, but I'm too new to openSUSE to do so. A similar patch is currently being tested in archlinux's community repository Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Install openSUSE 2. Missing feature Actual Results: Drag-to-tile is not supported.

Guido, thanks for taking a look at this, and also for the link to the OBS tutorial. Sorry I didn't spot that dragging between worksapces issue ! I think I'll create an experimental branch of X11:xfce/xfw4, as you suggest, and put a link to the upstream bug somewhere in the description. Who knows, someone might use it, like it, and help out upstream.
That's a good idea.
Can we keep this (#714535) bug open as a reminder to possibly cherry-pick that patch, when it's ready ? I took a look at the XFCE 4.10 roadmap, and it looks
