[natty] wingpanel gets a resize grip

[Andrzej Kłapeć]

Due to recent Natty updates, each window gets a resize grip to make resizing easier. Unfortunately, wingpanel got one too.

I'm using the recent wingpanel version from bzr branch (rev 38). Screenshot is attached.

Sorry to say this, but we decided that we will abandon wingpanel at least
until we have elementary Jupiter ready. So if someone got time to make a
patch, feel free to do so, we will merge it then.

I think this is a bug in the GTK+ change, not wingpanel. "Panel" windows shouldn't have a resize grip for obvious reasons.

[Chris Wilson (notgary-deactivatedaccount)]

I didn't realise WingPanel wasn't a part of the default Ubuntu installation. This is therefore not a paper cut.

Chris, actually this milestone is similar to the SC descriptions milestone, it includes _any_ application where the grip is causing a problem. (Default or not).
However I think this might be a dup of bug #702879 , the gnome-panel bug.
Once that is fixed we might need to check if this bug still exists..

[Vish (vish)]

Hi, Bug #702879 has been fixed. could folks here update to gnome-panel (1:2.32.1-0ubuntu5) and check if this issue is fixed?

[Andrzej Kłapeć (solidslash)]

It's fixed for gnome-panel indeed ( before : http://g.imagehost.org/0634/before.png and after : http://j.imagehost.org/0808/after.png - changed contrast/brightness a bit - as you can see, it often happens that nm-applet starts twice ). However, it does fix the wingpanel issue partially - the grip is gone but a white line remains - http://g.imagehost.org/0505/wingpanel.png
And here's the ./wingpanel output :

This bug is cause by grips being backported from GTK3 to GTK2 in Ubuntu. However there were issues with the backport such as grips showing up on applications that they shouldn't have. e.g. Application widows that were set as not being re-sizable.

Anyway this functionality has since been removed from gtk2 so this should not longer be an issue in precise.
