switching workspaces jaunty metacity can lose keybindings

Bug #394539 reported by Anzan Hoshin on 2009-07-02

This bug affects 1 person

Affects		Status	Importance	Assigned to	Milestone
	gnome-desktop (Ubuntu)	Confirmed	Undecided	Unassigned

Bug Description

1) Ubuntu 9.04
2) sorry, not sure and it doesn't always happen which is why I'm reporting
3) run Synaptic, OOWriter maximized in a workspace; close app; use my custom keybindings (ALT+N) or default (CTL+ALT+arrow) to switch workspace
4) fail; have to use mouse to navigate to pager applet and click workspace, after which all is win

My apologies for not being more helpful. I'm only using GNOME instead of Fluxbox to try to keep up with Ubuntu's defaults as a team player but GNOME's underthings get bunched up in ways I can't understand. I hope this is a useful report. If not, just delete please. /me seppuku

Hello Fabio,

Thank you.

I'm using 10.04 now with Metacity. The same thing still happens. However I
don't need to use the pager. Just clicking on the "desktop" with the mouse
cursor lets the window manager "know" that I'm referring to something
"bigger" than the windows it was managing in that workspace. Annoying, as I
need to find the mouse and aim it and all that but workable.

Yours,
Anzan.

And thank you. I've just a n00b, been using Ubuntu since 7.04, but I love
the project and do what I can to support it. But it's people like you that
make it even possible.

This was filed against the wrong driver package. -keyboard is no longer maintained; keyboards are managed via the -evdev driver now. However, this is probably a window manager error rather than X specifically; bumping over to gnome.

affects:

xserver-xorg-input-keyboard (Ubuntu) → gnome-desktop (Ubuntu)
