Window Manager Warning In Gnome

I'm running Arch 2010.05 i686 With just the gnome base installed 'pacman -S gnome' but also some other apps and dependencies.

I noticed when I log out of Gnome into the console I see these two messages;

Window Manager Warning: Got a request to focus the no_focus_window with a timestamp of 0, this shouldn't happen

Window Manager Warning: Current Time used to choose focus window: focus window may not be correct

I'm using the default WM for Gnome Metacity, I haven't made any changes to Gnome...

THANKS

Does everything work properly? If so, the messages can be ignored.

Everything seems to work properly, but if they work properly then we shouldn't be seeing messages telling us something isn't working correct should we...

So something is up and no matter what it is, even if it's a simple bug reporting an incorrect error, I'd like to fix if it I can, unless this might be at the code level and needs a patch, meaning this isn't going to be fixed until an update...

I appreciate your reply, but you telling me to ignore this means what? That you understand what is going on and why this is happening and that there is nothing I can do to fix it?

THANKS

Re: Window Manager Warning In Gnome

Software-specific errors are usually best reported 'upstream', in this case the Gnome bugtracker at https://bugzilla.gnome.org/

There is probably no one here with enough lowlevel knowledge of Metacity to really be of help, these are debug messages for the program's developer(s).

Well one can never tell, so it never hurts to ask...

And with something like this I find it really odd I would be the only entire person using Arch that is getting something like this, that's quite strange, especially with something like this...

Bug report submitted...

THANKS
