At present, the behavior of synaptic manager/update manager is huge
disruption to workflow>
To recreate:
Select to update/install software in desktop 1 , now while the downloads and
installation occurs Switch to a different desktop > On completion of the
process the child windows pop-up in the user's present desktop[just to inform
completion or error] and grabs focus , instead of remaining in the desktop 1
The problem with this is:
1: The child window very much disturbs the user's work by grabbing attention
from the user's work[comes to the foreground]
2: The child window doesnt show up in the window list
3: If the users switches to his work , and later tries to return to the
synaptic/update manager in the desktop 1 , the child window is not there! And
therefore the synaptic/update manager cannot be closed without closing the
child window [which is complicated by the child window not being displayed in
the window list] so he has to search where the child window is beneath all his
work windows and has o check all the desktops!
To have an acceptable behavior :
1: Child window ALWAYS remains in the same desktop as the parent window[since
the parent window is displayed in the window list].
2: Should not grab attention from the user's work. [Instead ,optionally , a
simple Notify-osd Bubble saying "Installation Done/ Updates finished/Error" can
be displayed.]
