Description richlv 2006-03-03 15:49:59 UTC

Version:           svn revision 514058 (using KDE KDE 3.5.1)
Installed from:    Slackware Packages
Compiler:          gcc version 3.4.5 
OS:                Linux

xorg 6.9

amarok's splashscreen is the topmost window, activating other windows does not cover it and even switching desktops does not get rid of it.

even though splashscreen can be disabled, it would be nice to fix it :)

(probably something connected with windows types/hinting ?)

Just click on the splash screen to hide it :)

Comment 2 richlv 2006-03-03 16:13:06 UTC

ahh, indeed =)
but maybe we could get more closer to standards behaviour ?

i don't pretend to know anything about programming ;), but i have seen similar problems fixed with other applications.
http://standards.freedesktop.org/wm-spec/wm-spec-latest.html

it somehow didn't even occur to me that i could click on splash as most applications today provide correct hinting and giving focus to other window allows it to cover splash, also switching desktops should not leave splash as the topmost window :)

This is not fixed.

amarok patch

The attached patch fixes the problem (we have library classes for a reason). If
you support also older KDE versions without the class (I don't remember when it
was introduced), use your own code only for the old versions.
