Bug Description

When I run deja-dup under GNOME Shell, the backup window showing progress of the backup doesn't appear in alt+tab but only in the overview (when pressing windows/super key). Sometimes when switching between windows, I can't make it appear in the overlay mode either even though the app is running (can be verified with top) I believe this is because of the window not setting the right properties but I don't know the details.

Ps: I am the maintainer of deja-dup in Fedora and a fix would be very much helpful since we have deja-dup and gnome shell by default for Fedora 15

I'll have to look into it, but I need a machine that runs the Shell. Once Ubuntu Oneiric includes the Shell, I'll be sure to keep on top of Shell-Deja-Dup interaction, but I admit I've just fired and prayed for GNOME 3.0.

I'll try to grab a GNOME 3 Live CD or something.

Thanks. How hard would it be to do a bug fix 18.x release that includes the fixes for this and 776483? If it is not trivial, never mind

I hadn't been planning on it. But if you'd like to distro-patch it, here's the patch for the batch of shell improvements. Is that good enough?
