This issue no longer affects me. The problem went away when two changes were made to the wireless network over the span of about a week. I don't know which change actually fixed it, but I suspect it was the second of the two: One change was updating the firmware on the access points. In the oth

Is there anything I can do to help troubleshoot this? I purchased Kerbal Space Program "early access" on Steam this morning, and gnome- panel crashes with this error whenever I try to run the game. This does not happen with the KSP demo, only the full version. A web search suggests this may affe

I still get the crash even after removing the window-list applet. I actually just finished building libwnck3-3.4.7 with this line commented out in libwnck/xutils.c in the try_pixmap_and_mask() function, and it successfully prevents the crash. I haven't noticed any side-effects other than some err

The libwnck git master works perfectly. I can also confirm that specific commit (5f88636284154e76611012c8a7c7495b9d917bd7) constitues the fix: applying the diff to libwnck3_3.4.7-3.debian fixes the crash; conversely, reverting the diff on git master reintroduces the crash. -- You received this b

This also affects me, ever since upgrading to Oneiric. What I would like the behavior to be: Only update the keyring after successfully authenticating to the wireless network. This would protect good keys from temporary failures. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of

I have a Dell Precision M4600 with Ultimate-N 6300 (rev 35), and have had this sort of problem for quite some time. It generally happens with networks where there are many access points, and many people connecting to the network (at work, at hotels, etc.) A workaround which has been reliable in g

I tested by applying the patch against the current Ubuntu Xenial release version of the metacity package (metacity_3.18.4-0ubuntu0.3). I can confirm the patch fixes the regression (it allows me to drag my Firefox and Thunderbird windows above the top of the screen.) So far, I have encountered no

I did some troubleshooting on this issue, because it affects me as well. The previous comment mentions an upstream bug report, but I haven't been able to find it, so I'll post this here. The first time I send a signed message after restarting Thunderbird, I get prompted twice for my gpg key passwo

Public bug reported: After upgrading to 15.10, I can no longer Alt-drag Firefox and Thunderbird windows above the top of the screen. When I attempt to do so, the window snaps downward along the y-axis so that the titlebar aligns with top of screen. Other applications such as gnome-terminal do no
