Hello, After trying to solve a issue with desktop-effects in fedora (compiz does not let itself to be replaced by metacity). We come to the conclusion that the compiz session management code is broken. When unmanaging the screen compiz should unregister itself from the session manager to let a new started wm to take over the screen. See https://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=229113

I have configured compiz to use 1 workspace and 4 viewports and metacity to use 4 workspaces. When I start compiz while metacity was running it uses 4 workspaces and 4 viewports (ignoring the gconf settings). When I restart X so that compiz is started before metacity this does not happen (it uses what its configured for). bug or feature? if feature can it be disabled? switching

The place plugin has a bug: when compiz is restarted or started to replace another wm it the windows are placed in weird positions ( titlebar behind the panel etc.) shouln't the place plugin loop over all open windows and place them correctly when loaded? this should solve this issues. any reason why this isn't done? have I missed something or is this just a bug?

I've been using compiz on KDE for a while now and I like the eye candy. Thanks to all who made this possible. I'm usually a no-nonsense guy who doesn't care about eye candy (I'm not even using a background picture because I'm worried about the memory it'll use (on a machine with 2 GB of RAM) :) ) but compiz stormed (sic!) my defences. Now for my questions: 1. compiz is a

Hello, I updated to current git and find the video plugin. What exactly is it supposed to do? I want to test it but I don't know exactly what to test.... Enabling it did not make any difference (it loaded successfully).

I have dual-screen compiz-fusion finally working on my ATI Radeon Mobility X600. AIGLX was the way to go using MergedFB. gentoo linux-2.6.22 x11-base/xorg-server-1.2.0-r3 x11-base/xorg-x11-7.2 media-libs/mesa-6.5.2-r1 x11-wm/compiz-9999 x11-wm/compiz-fusion-9999 But a number of remaining issues: - my second screen doesn't render properly. Compiz events cause it to redraw but

FYI, I have put up a forum post [1] where I am going to maintain information about the netwm api for the dbus plugin. I have gone through the EWMH spec [2] and broken it down into a dbus compatible api, it seems to be good and roughly compatible with the existing compiz one. I think everything should be self explanitory, if there are any comments or if there is anything I have misunderstood or

David & All, As you might have heard, Intel recently introduced a new low-power device called a Mobile Internet Device (MID). We're working in Intel's Open source Technology Center on the Linux Desktop UI. Given the small screen we're planning on using a stack-based window manager where each application runs full-screen (think Matchbox). We think it would be very cool to get a

I worte in my last mail that when I ue compiz git fullscreen videos are no longer ontop of the gnome-panel... that means that the gnome-panel is still visible while playing the video in fullscreen. The commit which I said may caused it has nothing to do with it compiz does not build if I revert it). again with older compiz and metacity it works fine. (now I am running 20070316). Anyone else wiith

Hi Folks, I work at VMware, where I'm making the multi-monitor feature new in Workstation 6.0 (just released!) more robust. Long story short, window managers don't consistently expose a good way for a single window to go fullscreen across more than monitor, which is what we need to do to display the monitors we expose to a guest virtual machine. So we've proposed a new hint for

Changes since 0.3.6: * Core Some stencil buffer requirements have been removed. Focus stealing prevention. Fragment attribute interface that allow plugins to perform more advanced fragment shading effects while integrating properly with other plugins. Extensible window matching interface and new option type that provide advanced window

Hi, I'm using running Xgl/compiz on Gentoo/AMD64/2006.0, with xgl-0.0.1_p20060418 and compiz-quinnstorm-0.0.9.3 on Gnome 2.14. I love the edge-flip feature of rotate, but I sometimes have a problem where, after edge-flipping the mouse pointer seems to jump to the opposite window edge which starts rotating the cube to the next desktop, so I start moving the pointer back, whereupon it jumps

The window decoration system in compiz is implemented using a decoration plugin and a separate window decoration drawing application (a decorator). The decorator is drawing window decorations to minimal sized pixmaps. These pixmaps along with sets of coordinates which maps the pixmaps to windows are communicated back to the decorator plugin through a property on the client window. The coordinates

Hiya Compiz list! I am a Linux UI dude for VMware as my day job and am working on improving things in Workstation and Player with regards to multiple monitors on Linux. Some of my colleagues worked with the xdg/wm-spec folks just earlier this year to get the _NET_WM_FULLSCREEN_MONITORS hint into the EWMH spec to address the needs applications have in needing to be both fullscreen and spanning

For the last few weeks I've been fiddling with the 0.8 code-base, mostly because compiz got nuked in my distro and I had to do something, if for no other reason than to have a running WM. You can find my work at: https://github.com/KristianLyng/compiz (I'm also tracking issues there) I've done what I felt like doing, some of which would've been controversial/problematic 5 years

A new compiz release 0.5.2 is now available from: http://xorg.freedesktop.org/archive/individual/app/compiz-0.5.2.tar.gz which can be verified with: http://xorg.freedesktop.org/archive/individual/app/compiz-0.5.2.tar.gz.sha1 0d0a4a39bfbe0ada770d9206b7a1b6b443c53c29 compiz-0.5.2.tar.gz

re, all. Here's a bug filed against Google Chrome for the same problem: http://code.google.com/p/chromium/issues/detail?id=80856 and here's some forum users complaining about the same problem, and regrettably their solution is to stop using Ubuntu's Unity mode: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1742354. I work for VMware and for our Unity mode (which has the unfortunate name

Im trying to write a Windowmaker look-a-like decorator to compiz, tho, im not really sure im doing it the right way, The way im doing it right now is telling libdecorator that i?m interested in becoming the "manager" of the current screen. Then i select the StructureNotify events on the root window and try to snoop out when a new window is created and mapped, and then reparent it onto my
