[Bug 415753] [NEW] Window partly out of a workspace will be moved by some gdk function calls if "Place Windows" is checked in compizconfig

[Yao Yao Feng]

Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: compiz

I'm using Ubuntu 8.10 with extra visual effects, and "Place Windows"
setting is checked in compizconfig setting manager.

I notice top-level window will be moved to other workspace by
gdk_window_show/gdk_window_raise/gdk_window_deiconify if the window is
partly out of the workspace.

If I unchecked "Place Windows" in compizconfig setting manager, the
window will not be moved by above function call.

The description of "Place Windows" is: Place windows at appropriate
positions when mapped. Since the window has been mapped, why move it
again?

The sample code is below. When  GDK_BUTTON_PRESS is received,
gdk_window_show will be called.

Steps to reproduce the bug:
1. move the window partly out of the workspace
2. click it(not titlebar)
bug: the window is moved to another workspace.

  GdkWindow* window = event->any.window;

  }

        // call something when GDK_BUTTON_PRESS is received
        gdk_window_show(window); 
        //gdk_window_raise(window);

    gdk_window_show(window);

    gdk_event_handler_set(my_gdk_event_handler, NULL, NULL);

    while (1)
    {
       while (gdk_events_pending())
       {
           g_main_context_iteration( context, TRUE);
       }

       if (GDK_WINDOW_DESTROYED(window))
       {
           break;
       }

    }


    return 0;
