Created attachment 2281 triple image screenshot of issue First let me say thank you for the work done on the new version, people don't make bug reports to thank developers for features they really like, so you will see some bug reports about some negative experiences but keep in mind that I will always have positive experiences to ;-) I upgraded my xfce4-panel on my Debian unstable testing system and I notched that when a laucher .desktop item has an "use startup notification" property enabled. The task list will add a first stage task list item with the name used in the launcher, when the application is started the task list item is replaced with the actual task list item of the application it self. (see screenshots) Would it be possible to don't create this fist stage task list item and only add the task list item when the application is actually loaded. It is very distracting that the task list item is added when the application is not loaded yet, the mouse busy indicator is enough to inform the user the action is executed and the application is being loaded. The current behavior just does not feel right, and can be distracting and confusing for the user. If more information or argumentation is needed please contact me, I would really like to see this behavior changed and make it the default. $ dpkg -l | grep panel ii xfce4-clipman-plugin 2:0.9.1-1 ii xfce4-panel 4.6.0-2 I f the issue is fixed, I am willing to make donation to you or the xfce project. Thanks in advance, Jelle de Jong
Yep, this is wrong, but that's we way it's implement in wnck. Will be fixed in 4.8 (will provide an option to enable visual startup notification, if it's useful).
Even better, drop startup notification from the tasklist, it is useless...
I also noticed that when using two monitors (no xinerama or xrandr, but two different screens in the layout) when you start an application on window one and if you have two panels with task-bars the start-up notification will show up in both task-list on the panels on monitor one and monitor two....
