AWN applet shows GnoMenu partly on bottom dock on Mandriva

[Atilla Öntaş]

System:
Mandriva Linux 2010.1

Awn Version:
4.0

GnoMenu version:
2.7

Situation:
AWN panel placed on bottom of the screen.

GnoMenu:
AWN applet installed and added to AWN panel. No crashes.

Problem:
When clicked on awn applet, it shows only top part of the GnoMenu. It doesn't matter whatever theme used. Awn applet, works for a top screen placed AWN panel, as expected. No problem.

Addition:
I' ll add a screenshot later.

what window manager are you using?

[Atilla Öntaş (tarakbumba)]

Using compiz-fusion. I'm attaching screenshot what it looks like.

Okay can you please tell us the compiz-fusion plugins you are using and what settings you have. I know its a lot of detail but the little details matter on something like this.

[Atilla Öntaş (tarakbumba)]

I can look at .config/compiz/default.ini file (i suppose that'sthe compiz config file) for active plugins and tell you them tonight when i go home.

This bug still valid with GnoMenu 2.8. Does it a bug of GnoMenu or avant-window-navigator?

[Atilla Öntaş (tarakbumba)]

This bug still valid with GnoMenu 2.9. Besides; it no more show up when placd bottom menu with compiz enabled (using same plugins mentioned #5)

[Atilla Öntaş (tarakbumba)]

OOoops.. wrong alarm. no problem with only compiz. But awn issu still...

[Dmitriy V. Davydov (idavid2013)]

Confirming the Bug is still present: Ubuntu 10.10, GnoMenu 2.9, AWN 0.4.0
Possible workaround until the bug gets fixed: Compiz Place Windows Plugin

Windows with fixed position -> Add New

   class=GnoMenu.py X and Y Position depend on your layout of AWN and GnoMenu
                                          X = 0 , Y = 0 - for the top left corner

Hope this will help someone

Thank you Dmitriy! I have my AWN left-docked and this menu was always appearing in the bottom left corner of the screen sometime resulting in it being underneath AWN.

The workaround you suggest Setting the Fixed Position in Place Windows let me put it exactly where I want and is perfect! I will use this for other things now!
