#249

@thassan: how's the situation in Mint 17.1 Rebecca? I know Clem did some work to make compiz work better in Mint, so maybe the issue is already fixed. |

i believe the issue has been fixed in Mint 17.1 Rebecca. |

I can confirm this is still an issue, I've never had compiz and mate-panel NOT act like this, and in my setup for compiz added to Debian have to play timing games to get everything working on a session start. I normally use "killall mate-panel" and let it restart to avoid busy cursor issues. This is with or without the workarounds. OpenGL is Mesa/r600 AMD, mate-panel is all recent versions, all of them built with GTK3, currently on mate-panel 1.17.0 built with GTK 3.22.2 |

What is your environment ? I use Mate 1.8 with Compiz 0.9.12.2 on Debian
8.7 without this issue. I run compiz from an autostart desktop file with
the command "compiz --replace".
You could try this also on Debian stretch/sid with the new Compiz 0.9
package.
Best regards.

I can assure you this is still an issue in my Debian Unstable setup, probably Mint is using some kind of startup script to ensure the panel always restarts after compiz, just as I include in my locally compiled compiz packages. Proof of the issue is that compiz --replace must always be followed by killlall mate-panel(to avoid busy cursor issue) or mate-panel --replace. This has literally been an issue since compiz first came out as far as I can recall. Compiz itself is extremely complex, and is known for acting in a number of ways differently than any other window manager. I have no idea at all how to fix this other than restarting the panel after compiz at every session start-which is exactly how it had to work in the old days. In my locally compiled compiz packages I also had to |
Calling @clefebvre and @flexiondotorg for help, since Mint and Ubuntu MATE have some helper script(s) to work around this, as I understand it. |
Is there open bug for compiz in launchpad.net? |
I found two bug reports that might be related to this one: The last report is also mirrored here at #495. Do you have these problems with gnome-panel as well? |
Alberts Muktupāvels I was not able to find bug for this on launchpad, but there is one for MATE: mate-desktop/mate-panel#249 This happens not only with mate-panel or gnome-panel, but also CSD windows. serverFrame is put at 0x0 position and must be clicked to be moved to correct position. Same as https://code.launchpad.net/%7Emuktupavels/compiz/fix-initial-server-frame-position/+merge/322817
I can confirm that For my part I've added the fix to my own compiz branch on Github. |
It will be merged soon - https://bileto.ubuntu.com/#/ticket/2730... P.S. In git you have --author and --date options... git commit --author '...' --date='...' ... |
Most of my git work is done in git-gui except for rebases and merges, I can't find options there for resetting authorship so for now the author gets mentioned in the commit message |
Oh, I dont use GUI for that... Anyway, don't worry - I don't care if commit has my name or not... |
Ok, the fix landed in Compiz, according to https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1579421, so closing this one. |
same or similar to what is described here: http://forums.linuxmint.com/viewtopic.php?f=206&t=169308 (Compiz mucks with mate-panel on startup)
In my case/setup, the top panel is clickable, the bottom panel isn't. Even right clicking the bottom panel brings up the right click menu of the desktop, as if it was invisible.
This happens even when using gtk-window-decorator in place of marco, and happens even if compiz is set as the window-manager in dconf.
Tested on Linux Mint 17 Qiana, Compiz 1:0.9.11.2+14.04.20140714-0ubuntu1, mate-panel 1.8.0-0+qiana
