Bug ID: 872590 QA Contact: extras-qa@fedoraproject.org Severity: low Version: 18 Priority: low CC: haskell-devel@lists.fedoraproject.org, petersen@redhat.com Assignee: petersen@redhat.com Summary: RFE: use bluetile with MATE instead of Gnome Shell Fallback Regression: --- Story Points: --- Classification: Fedora OS: Linux Reporter: jbastian@redhat.com Type: Bug Documentation: --- Hardware: All Mount Type: --- Status: NEW Component: bluetile Product: Fedora
Description of problem: The MATE desktop will be in Fedora 18 [1], and since bluetile was designed to work with Gnome 2.x (which MATE is a fork of), the bluetile package should probably switch to using MATE instead of Gnome Shell in fallback mode.
[1] http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Features/MATE-Desktop
Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): bluetile-0.6-9.fc18.x86_64 mate-desktop-1.4.1-11.fc18.x86_64

--- Comment #1 from Jeff Bastian jbastian@redhat.com --- Adding these two files is one possible solution:
/usr/share/xsessions/mate-bluetile-session.desktop ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ [Desktop Entry] Encoding=UTF-8 Name=MATE + Bluetile Comment=Tiling window manager Exec=mate-bluetile-session Icon=bluetile.png Type=XSession ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
/usr/bin/mate-bluetile-session ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ #!/bin/bash
mateconftool-2 --type bool --set /apps/caja/preferences/show_desktop False mateconftool-2 --type string \ --set /desktop/mate/session/required_components/windowmanager bluetile exec /usr/bin/mate-session ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Although, this /usr/bin/mate-bluetile-session is kinda ugly because you cannot go back to the standard Mate window manager -- marco -- by choosing the plain MATE option from the gdm session list.

--- Comment #5 from Jens Petersen petersen@redhat.com --- Bluetile should now be using mate in rawhide now - not tested it yet. Need to backport to F19.

--- Comment #6 from Jens Petersen petersen@redhat.com --- Should be working now in rawhide (master) bluetile-0.6-15.fc20.

--- Comment #7 from Jeff Bastian jbastian@redhat.com --- Thanks! I rebuilt the src rpm on F19 and it appears to be working fine.
I see one minor problems, though: the xsession file still has "gnome" in the filename: /usr/share/xsessions/gnome-bluetile-session.desktop
This makes the gdm session selection look funny; my list contains ... GNOME MATE + Bluetile GNOME Classic i3 Icewm MATE ...
The "MATE + Bluetile" entry should probably down by the plain "MATE" entry.

--- Comment #8 from Jens Petersen petersen@redhat.com --- (In reply to comment #7)
I rebuilt the src rpm on F19 and it appears to be working fine.
Thanks for testing - it will be backported to F19 "soon" but I am planning larger package backporting which needs more work/time alas. Anyway I think before Beta in some form.

Ah good catch - I had overlooked that.
I have wondered about changing the session name sometimes, even before this. Maybe "Bluetile MATE" would be more appropriate perhaps. Anyway I will fix this.

--- Comment #9 from Jens Petersen petersen@redhat.com --- Ok, I renamed mate-bluetile-session to bluetile-mate-session in bluetile-0.6-16.fc20. Haven't actually tested it yet but I think it should work.
