thanks
Hello,
I just upgraded a system from etch to lenny and I saw once more this
bug. This is a regression that will most likely be frowned upon by our
users when they'll upgrade to lenny, so I'd rather we see this bug is
fixed before the release.
>From the related bugs I see that there are two ways o fixing this issue:
- fix iceweasel: set browser.tabs.loadDivertedInBackground = true
- reassign the bug to metacity and fix it, changing also pidgin's behaviour, too
I think the proper fix (or workaround, depending on your PoV of the
issue) is to use the chrome key since it is an iceweasel regression
and, even though the urgency setting is lost, I think the impact is a
lot smaller than these windows moving around like crazy and imepeding
work.
There a way to add system wide this setting by adding it to
/etc/iceweasel/pref/iceweasel.js
browser.tabs.loadDivertedInBackground = true
The patch adding it system wide is attached. Note this is not patch
for the source package, but only the file that triggers the change
system wide.
