Dock displays resize grip

[innervision]

Binary package hint: cairo-dock

I have reported this elsewhere as a Compiz bug, but reading further I realized it's actually a per-application problem: because the "resize grips" feature in Gnome 3 has been backported to the Gnome 2 version Ubuntu uses, Cairo Dock displays a resize handle even when it's obviously out of place. There's been some more info on: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gtk+2.0/+bug/704105, specially comment #9.

thanks for reporting this "bug". Actually it's more a bug on the Ubuntu or
the Gnome side, for having backported such a feature withouth checking that
it wouldn't affect the existing applications. :-/
The question is: is there any way to detect that the grip is present
(currently, we check that we are using Gnome 3)

Actually I don't think there's a way to detect whether the feature is enabled or not at runtime, which means it would require a distro-specific patch to do the work at compile time. That sucks. This feature is generating a lot of trouble with a *lot* of programs, even well maintained ones, because people are assuming "Gnome 2 = no grip".

This bug has been fixed in the version 2.3.0.
Please post a new comment on the bug #723994

You're totally right, and I also don't see a way to guess the grip is
present or not. I think it might be a good idea to report this bug to Ubuntu
or Gnome (whoever backported this feature).
Thanks.

The Ubuntu desktop-team has ported this grip feature from GTK3 to the current version of GTK in Natty.
So... it's not possible to detect when we have to remove this grip with GTK2 and this is why I've added the possibility to add this CMake flag: -Denable_gtk_grip=1 ;)
