Without compiz it doesn't happen. The window spawns in the foreground, though it sometimes doesn't get the focus.
Blowing aways /apps/metacity , /apps/compiz , /apps/compizconfig at the same time seems to have solved it. (compiz must be reading some metacity settings?) Now that it's "solved" for me i and no one else seems to be affected i think we can close this. ** Changed in: gnome-session (Ubuntu) Status: Incomplete => Invalid -- "Shut Down the Computer"-window spawns behind active window https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/317855 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Desktop Bugs, which is subscribed to gnome-session in ubuntu. -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs
