[compiz] small bug in 8.6 commands - grab key doesn't close after <Alt><Super><Sys_Req> + Other good feedback
Guys, Here is a little something to look at in the code. I have the following set: Run command 1: /opt/kde3/bin/ksnapshot <Super>Print Run command 2: /opt/kde3/bin/ksnapshot --current <Alt><Super><Sys_Req> The bug occurs when you choose 'Grab key combination' for <Alt><Super><Sys_Req>. When you enter the keystroke, the keystroke is clearly accepted/interpreted by the grab key combination routine, but the little rectangle that says "Please enter the new key combination" does not close after the key combination is entered. See the screenshot: (20k) http://www.3111skyline.com/dl/bugs/compiz/altsupersysreq.jpg This is most likely because of some of the 'ok, I got it' code doesn't recognize the Sys_Req key, but the code that actually 'gets' the key combination is perfectly happy with it. As a workaround, all I did was manually close the dialog and the key combination works fine. Everything else is working fine too. I'm still messing with the timestep, but it is working pretty good. It might be worth looking at what controls the number of revolutions per x-y distance of mouse motion. Everything else is beautiful with the default settings. ( I always change a few others for taste, but nothing wrong with the present defaults) Oops, I take that back, the default deformation of cylinder with a zoom value of '0' does not work. I don't know how the default deformation is chosen, but if the default will always be a cylinder on a new install, then the zoom needs to be set at 40-50% (.4000-.5000) to keep the cylinder from having the "In your face" look on rotation. The only other request I have outstanding is whether I can adjust the aspect ratio of the cylinder. In 8.6, it looks much more like a hockey-puck than a can. See the following comparison of 8.2 versus 8.6 screenshots: (8.2 - 100k) http://www.3111skyline.com/dl/img/ss/compiz/compiz82_shots-00.jpg (8.2 - 56k) http://www.3111skyline.com/dl/img/ss/compiz/comiz-darkredplanet.jpg (8.6 - 64k) http://www.3111skyline.com/dl/img/ss/compiz/cmpiz-8.6-rot_03.jpg In the past, the sphere ratio controlled the cylinder also, now it has no effect and you are just stuck with the default cylinder aspect ratio. I would prefer to be able to add a little height to make it look more like what is shown in the 8.2 screenshots above. It wouldn't take too much, probably another 15-20% in height would do. This also cuts down on the amount of zoom required to have the cylinder fit nicely in the window. Any ideas how I can adjust the cylinder aspect ratio? I have tried about every setting I can think of and I haven't been able to change the ratio at all... -- David C. Rankin, J.D.,P.E.
