Bug Description

If ume-launcher is intended for use as a root window, it shouldn't capture alt+f4 or close. I've triggered it twice on testing with my laptop tablet, and its highly confusing.

Steps to reproduce:

1. Install ume-launcher via netbook-remix ppas
2. Add maximus and ume-launcher to startup sessions
3. Launch firefox
4. Close firefox with Alt+ f4
5. Press Alt + f4 again.
6. ume-launcher is now closed, nautilus appears.

Nothing at all happens for me when I do Alt+F4 on the launcher screen (Alt+F4 does close Firefox when I am focused on Firefox.)

I am surprised that you put ume-launcher in your startup sessions. All I had to do was add the launcher & go-home to my panel and maximus to my startup sessions.

Add the launcher to your panel? It's not part of the directions...

I'm not sure whether I added ume launcher, but it's there now. Probably part of a default profile.

I'm unable to close the launcher via Alt+F4 when it's in the (default) desktop mode. What window manager are you using?

I've added ume-launcher and maximus to my startup sessions. I think I'm using compiz as the window manager, but I'm not real clear on how maximus, devilspie, compiz and metacity interact here.

Here's a recoding of the bug. I launch firefox, close it with alt+f4, then close ume-launcher with alt-f4.

Thanks for the video, it confirmed my suspicions. This behaviour is both Compiz and the launcher's fault. I'll update here when a fix is available in the ppa.

Stop other handlers invoked of event 'CLUTTER_DELETE' to avoid ume launcher be closed.
