Description Jan Blazek 2009-03-29 18:07:35 CEST
It would be nice if task list could display windows from other workspaces that require attention (with urgent hint set) - even when option "Show tasks from all workspaces" is not set. The window would appear as new blinking item and clicking on it switches to its workspace and raises it. Similar feature is implemented in gnome-panel.

As i can see, 4.6.2 had this feature implemented, but bug was not closed. Now 4.8_pre lacks this feature, and 4.8pre2 does not seem to implement it back, so bug (feature request) becomes actual again. I tried to merge code with this feature from 4.6.2, but i failed.

It's a regression in 4.8.3.

My implementation proposal for this feature. It shows urgent windows on all workspaces, similar to gnome-panel. This patch doesn't include any configuration window additions. It unconditionally shows urgent windows.

Bug 7686 causes that clicking on such an urgent window may move to the wrong viewport.

Cheers, Flo

This is really a great patch, Flo. I recently switched from Ubuntu 11.10 Unity to Xfce, and really missed this feature. I applied it to the Ubuntu 11.10 panel and it works great. I hope the patch will make it to the standard.

Thanks,
Kees

Why isn't this applied? What's missing?
Comment 9 Nick Schermer editbugs 2013-05-19 14:52:58 CEST
It has been applied, just a bit different.
