Alltray, Beryl, Feisty - Shows window but leaves it underneath all other windows

[Dougle]

Binary package hint: alltray

With Alltray and Beryl running on Feisty, alltray un-docks window but does not bring it to the front when clicking on the tray icon.

I confirm this behaviour using Gutsy amd64 + compiz from repositories

Thank you for taking the time to report this bug and improve Ubuntu. Do you still experience this issue running Compiz on the latest release, Ubuntu 8.04 LTS? If so, could you also specify which desktop environment you are using?

[Léo Studer (leo-studer)]

Using 8.04 LTS with compiz, docking/undocking is not working (at all) anymore with "alltray thunderbird %u" or "alltray thunderbird" from the launcher. However, "alltray thunderbird" from a terminal does work correctlty, unlike "alltray thunderbird %u" from a terminal.

Using Gnome by the way...

In fact I have to specify: the docking / undocking directly by clicking on the dock icin does not work in the 3 previous cases. However, when initiated with the "minimize windows" button on the top right corner of the thunderbird window (ie the button with the flat line, not the square or the cross) then docking/undocking does work correctly, and the window stays on top.

If you install the Alltray package from my PPA[1] for Hardy, do you still experience the same issues?

The package provided by Michael does fix the issue under Hardy ! Thank you very much for that contribution.
