[opensuse] 12.1 GNOME 3.2.1 window shading actions broken?
Hi All, I upgraded my 11.4 x86_64 GNOME 2.32 system to 12.1 GNOME 3.2.1 (OBS Stable) using 'zypper dup'. The system has been stable and running beautifully now for a couple of days but with one problem: 'window shading' -- double clicking a title bar to roll content up and hide it -- is broken. In my upgraded user space, switching workspaces causes the title bars of rolled up programs to disappear. I can select and 'unshade' them one at a time using "Activities" mode or Alt+Tab / Shift+Alt+Tab, but this is arduous if, like me, you keep groups of related programs stacked up like pancakes on several workspaces. I created a new user and the breakage there is a little different. They remain visible after switching workspaces, but they're locked in the 'rolled up' state. Nothing happens when they're double clicked. The positioning is also 'frozen.' The title bars can't be moved. I can select and 'unshade' them one at a time, per the above. I've 'Googled' extensively and not been able to find anyone else reporting or discussing this specific problem. I'm hoping someone here will have some troubleshooting ideas share or leads to follow.

if gnome is presented configuration wize similarly to kde, this setting is configurable and may have not survived your upgrade. Check window settings.

perhaps the same config setting I mentioned earlier.

I use the mouse-wheel to shade/unshade in addition to <double-clicks>. -- (paka)Patrick Shanahan Plainfield, Indiana, USA HOG # US1244711 http://wahoo.no-ip.org Photo Album: http://wahoo.no-ip.org/gallery2 http://en.opensuse.org openSUSE Community Member Registered Linux User #207535 @ http://linuxcounter.net -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org

Hi Patrick, and thanks for your reply. Both accounts are set to 'Toggle Shade' in the 'Windows' tab of 'Advanced Settings'. <snipped>

:-) I'd forgotten about that in KDE. I haven't configured this action in GNOME, before, so I don't know if it's possible. regards, Carl -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org

Hi Adam and thanks for your reply. "Advanced Settings" under 'Accessories' is the GUI label for "gnome-tweak-tool" which I used to set double-click on title bar to toggle shading. The problem wasn't that it didn't work. The problem was shaded windows disappearing after returning from 'Activities' view. That was in my upgraded user account (11.4 to 12.1) In the new user account that I created for testing purposes, shaded windows did *not* disappear. They were visible, but 'frozen,' i.e. not responsive to clicks of any kind. I had to return to 'Activities' view and select the shaded window to get it unshaded. I'm writing this from my restored 11.4 + GNOME 2.32.1 system as the leap to GNOME 3 was cutting too deeply into my productivity (but that's another topic.) regards, Carl -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org
