libertine config of gimp for single window mode

[kevin gunn]

single window mode for gimp still not looking quite right

see picture attached - we were using the very latest in the libertine team ppa version of xmir and libertine tools

I really don't think this is a Libertine issue in and of itself. Looks more like Xmir may be the culprit, at least that is probably where the investigation should start.

"Xmir root window" means you need to run a window manager yourself. And I can't see any titlebar etc from a window manager in the screenshot...?

The screenshot looks correct. Just user error. Or Libertine/whatever failed to start a WM.

Compiz is indeed running, but it is refusing to manage the window. Looking at the Compiz code, there are only two ways that it will not manage a newly created window:

"if (w->priv->serverFrame == event->xcreatewindow.window)"
and
"if (wa.root != event->xcreatewindow.parent)"

Those will prompt Compiz to refuse to manage the window.

Also, this issue is occurring in Libreoffice as well.

I'm switching window managers in Libertine. We will now be using Matchbox which is a very small and simple WM. When using Matchbox, single window mode in Gimp is correct.

Once we release Libertine, I'll close out this bug.
