The taskbar usually shows shaded applications as "=blabla", just like it shows minimized apps like "[blabla]". After unshading apps the title in the taskbar still remains with the = in it.
Seems like taskbar only updates the shade indicator on minimize of windows. Test case: 1) Shade window → taskbar does not change 2) Minimize shaded window → taskbar indicates shading 3) Restore window → taskbar still indicates shading 4) Unshade window → taskbar still indicates shading 5) Minimize window → taskbar removes shading indicator I remember this working just fine with Xfce pre-4.6.
Yes but not but yes... but no. I can reproduc ethe problem, indeed, but this is not a window manager problem. The window manager properly sets the NET_WM_STATE atom: 1) identify the window ID with xwininfo 2) Check the property NET_WM_STATE when the status change: 2.a: The window is mapped, the perperty is empy: $ xprop -id 0x3600045 | grep NET_WM_STATE _NET_WM_STATE(ATOM) = 2.b: Shade the window, redo: $ xprop -id 0x3600045 | grep NET_WM_STATE _NET_WM_STATE(ATOM) = _NET_WM_STATE_SHADED 2.c: Hide the shaded window, redo: $ xprop -id 0x3600045 | grep NET_WM_STATE _NET_WM_STATE(ATOM) = _NET_WM_STATE_SHADED, _NET_WM_STATE_HIDDEN 2.d: Restore the window (still shaded): $ xprop -id 0x3600045 | grep NET_WM_STATE _NET_WM_STATE(ATOM) = _NET_WM_STATE_SHADED 2.e: Unshade the window: $ xprop -id 0x3600045 | grep NET_WM_STATE _NET_WM_STATE(ATOM) = So from a window manager point of view, all is well and done right. So this is not a problem with the window manager. Prossibly an issue with libwnck? Another hint, I did not change anything of this between 4.4 and 4.6 (but we replaced our own taskbar implementation wit hteh one from libwnck)
i'm not able to reproduce this since 4.8, so i'm going to close this bug.
