I use kstart to start and place my initial windows. Occasionally, the window is placed on the active desktop in addition to the desktop set by kstart. Example: use kstart to start sylpheed and place it on desktop 4. Desktop 1 is the active desktop. The sylpheed window can be seen and interacted with on desktop 1 and desktop 4 as well. The workaround is to pin the window. And then unpin it on the desired desktop.
Additional information: 1. So far I have only seen this happen to sylpheed. 2. In the graphical pager, the window only appears on the desktop that was set by kstart.
Can't reproduce the problem. What version of xfwm4 and kstart are your running? Olivier.
Still can't reproduce the problem and by reading xfwm4 code, I can hardly see how this could happen. Again, what version of xfwm4 and kstart are your running? Olivier.
xfwm4 version: xfwm4-4.0.0-1 [botsie@krondor botsie]$ kstart -v Qt: 3.0.5 KDE: 3.0.3-8 Red Hat KStart: kstart version 1.9 Sylpheed: 0.9.4claws My machine has bad RAM, but that doesn't seem like a likely cause in this case.
Please update to latest xfce stable first. Olivier.
reporter: is this problem still occurring?
Cannot duplicate the error with xfwm from CVS.
This problem is not duplicable on a newer version and on a different system. Write it off to local machine weirdness.
