After taking a look through the code, I think it's not exactly the same thing as bug #153676.
As far as I can tell, the widget plugin uses raiseWindow (from window.c) to put the widgets on top. However, that function then uses findSiblingBelow() with aboveFs=FALSE, which causes the widgets to remain below full-screen windows. I tested this by modifying raiseWindow(), setting aboveFs=TRUE. This works, in the sense that widgets are correctly rendered above any fullscreen window. Of course, if there was a good reason why raiseWindow sets aboveFs to FALSE (I couldn't find one), this would break it. Is there a Compiz developer who can tell us if that makes sense? -- widget layer is below full-screen windows https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/162762 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is the bug contact for Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
