Description Mathias Brodala 2007-01-10 18:12:15 CET
User-Agent:       Opera/9.10 (X11; Linux i686; U; de)
Build Identifier: 

The following small Python script displays a splash screen which *should* be visible on all virtual desktops but only is on the desktop it has been started at:

-----8-<----------------------------------------------
#!/usr/bin/env python

import gtk
w = gtk.Window()
w.set_type_hint(gtk.gdk.WINDOW_TYPE_HINT_SPLASHSCREEN)
w.set_property('visible', True)
w.stick()
w.show()
gtk.main()

----->-8----------------------------------------------

Am I correct and this is a bug? I’m not sure since I don’t know of Python and GTK programming.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Run the provided script
2. See the splash not appearing on all desktops

Actual Results:  
The splash is only displayed on the desktop it was started at.

Expected Results:  
The splash should be visible on all desktops.

Yes, that was a design decision. I've now changed that in SVN trunk, revision 24346.
