Public bug reported:
Binary package hint: metacity
Hello,
(Im not sure it's a Metacity bug, sorry if it isn't)
I'm running Ubutu 10.04, but this was already happening before. Also, i wasn't
sure it was a bug, thinking that it just hadn't be thought about, but an admin
in brainstorm told me it was.
If we launch an application, and then switch to another workspace, when the
application is loaded, it will open in the active workspace, and not in the one
we launched it from.
This behaviour disable the ability to prepare all the workspace in one shot,
without having to wait for the applications to show up.
So we now have to launch them all (like 1 mail client, 1 IDE, 1 firefox, and 1
ftp client in my case) at first, wait for them all to be loaded, and then move
them to the workspace we want them to go.
It would be better to be able to :
- launch the first application (like the mail client in my example)
- switch to the second workspace and launch the second application (the IDE)
- switch to the third WS and launch the third app (Firefox)
- etc...
This way, we wouldn't have to wait for the apps to be fully loaded to put them
into a specific workspace, and they would neither steal the focus on the active
workspace when they are fully loaded.
Thanks
Brice Parent
