Summary: imsettings causes window manager confusion in Xfce
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=471927
Summary: imsettings causes window manager confusion in Xfce Product: Fedora Version: rawhide Platform: All OS/Version: Linux Status: NEW Severity: medium Priority: medium Component: imsettings AssignedTo: tagoh@redhat.com ReportedBy: kevin@tummy.com QAContact: extras-qa@fedoraproject.org CC: tagoh@redhat.com, fedora-i18n-bugs@redhat.com Estimated Hours: 0.0 Classification: Fedora
If the imsettings and imsettings-xfce packages are installed xfwm4 settings are confused and don't think xfwm4 is the window manager.
1. Install imsettings-xfce 2. yum groupinstall XFCE 3. login and choose Xfce as your desktop. 4. right click on the desktop 5. choose settings manager 6. choose either "Window Manager" or "Window Manager Tweaks". 7. You will get a message:
"These settings cannot work with your current window manager (imsetting-xim)"
The code in xfwm4 hasn't changed in years here. It does:
wm_name = gdk_x11_screen_get_window_manager_name (gdk_screen_get_default ()); if (g_ascii_strcasecmp (wm_name, "Xfwm4")) { xfce_err (_("These settings cannot work with your current window manager (%s)"), wm_name); return; }
Is imsettings changing the gdk default window manager somehow?
Removing imsettings causes everything to work as normal.
