Bug Description
When compiz is enabled, gnome-terminal behaves incorrectly (different from when compiz is not enabled) when in fullscreen mode (not maximized). I'm running with the latest nvidia blob (100.14.23) on a thinkpad t61 with a Nvidia Quadro NVS 140M and gutsy installed. To reproduce:
1. Start gnome-terminal and press 'f11' to go into fullscreen mode.
2. Enable compiz (System-
Then, several incorrect behaviours can be provoked.
a) Gui programs started from gnome-terminal are not brought to front:
1. Start a program from gnome-terminal by typing its name and pressing enter (I used 'gconf-editor')
The program will launch and the gnome-terminal cursor will go hollow to indicate another program (gconf-editor) got the focus, but the gconf-editor window is not shown and you have to alt-tab to bring it to front.
b) Alt-tab to gnome-terminal will make the program switcher flicker between it and gnome-terminal:
2. Press and hold alt while pressing tab until gnome-terminal is selected.
The program switcher will flicker between visible and not visible. I've found that unchecking 'unredirect_
c) Switching focus to gnome-terminal in fullscreen mode will not hide the gnome task bar.
1. Make sure gnome-terminal is in fullscreen mode and focused on some desktop.
2. Use ctrl-alt-<arrows> to switch to another desktop and back.
or
1. Switch focus to another program while gnome-terminal is in the background.
2. Exit the program (alt-f4)
Now, the gnome-terminal will have focus (typing on the keyboard shows up in gnome-terminal), but the gnome task bar is not hidden until you click once on the gnome-terminal window.
d) Clicking a window's title bar when gnome-terminal window is in the background will make the window disappear(?)
1. Switch focus to another window while gnome-terminal is in fullscreen behind it.
2. Click on the window's title bar with the mouse
The window will disappear behind gnome-terminal.
