Audacious is not correctly minimized

[ImanolBarba]

I've noticed that when using audacious with the classical winamp interface, if I hit the minimize button on audacious it just minimizes the main window, the equalizer and playlist remain on screen.

That's probably due to the fact that audacious using the winamp interface gets its own window managed, probably confusing muffin, though I'm not sure.

Other WM also have some quirks when dealing with said interface, but they all manage to minimize and restore it correctly most of times.

Thanks a lot for your attention

I noticed that too. For the time being, you can solve that by closing and reopening the playlist and equalizer windows before minimizing. Somehow Audacious doesn't register the main window as "parent" window for the playlist and equalizer, if they are to be shown on startup.

Interesting, maybe I'll lurk the audacious code a little bit and see what I find there, maybe I'll send a bugreport to the audacious mantainers on Debian, if it gets fixed modifying the audacious code, I'll close this issue myself

Thanks a lot for the info!

PS: I still believe cinnamon should be able to get through this more cleanly as the other WM though

I did that code digging @ImanolBarba talked about and also found an (unfortunately closed) issue at Audacious' bugtracker: http://redmine.audacious-media-player.org/issues/203
I commented there about what I found. If there's no reaction in the next few days, I will open a new ticket there.

I just created a new issue here: http://redmine.audacious-media-player.org/issues/242

Is this still valid in Cinnamon 2.2? Audacious bug points issue to Muffin?

The specific bug Lars reported does not exist, as a simple test with xwininfo and xprop shows. The real bug is almost certainly in the window manager. That is nothing new. Some of the most common window managers such as Compiz, Metacity, and Openbox all have been known to fail with Audacious in various and sundry ways. Audacious is not buggy, it simply requires more of the window manager than most programs and thus tends to expose window manager bugs that are not seen with other programs.

Closed due to lack of response.
