fbpanel broken pager ???

torindan2 · 2006-09-26 10:44:36

I upgraded to fbpanel 4.5-1 (from community) and saw a very strange behavior.
Then I recompiled fbpanel without patch from community (which was for 4.3, and also works in 4.5), but the behavior remains the same.
I also deleted some hacks in with STATIC_PLUGINS (needed in 4.3 because of bad support for gcc4)

I'm running openbox + fbpanel (I tried default configuration, because I thought it's something wrong with my panel layout).

Steps to reproduce:
- run openbox+fbpanel (maybe some other wm doesn't have this bug, but I'm pretty sure it's somewhere in fbpanel)
- open a window (a urxvt terminal in my case)
- go to another desktop (openbox is smart, there are no windows on this desktop, but fbpanel's pager will show on this desktop same windows as in first desktop)
- repeat for all desktops
- in screenshot you also can see that there are 2 active windows : one on first desktop and another one on last.

Is it me, or there are people with same problem ?

Looks like fbpanel bug: http://sourceforge.net/tracker/index.ph … tid=513125

I tried reordering in .xinitrc and it still doesn't work

I wrote the patch being applied in the AUR version over 2 years ago, still has not been applied in the source package, but I'm pretty sure it doesn't have anything to do with my patch, fbpanel is just buggy.

Although, I must say I've not tested it much, I wrote it for the 3.7 (or so) release and just did enough massaging to keep it alive through some of the earlier 4 series. I don't remember upping it to 4.3 (like in AUR), maybe someone else did it. In any case, I no longer use fbpanel, and the fact the developer is SO SLOW in doing anything I wouldn't expect my patch to be applied nor this bug to go away any time soon, unless you find it yourself.

For an up-to-date and bugfixed version I recommend lxpanel. It is a fork of fbpanel that is actually being worked on.

Other than that, OpenBox works quite good without any panel at all.

Nice. Upload it to the AUR or pick up the orphaned svn-package, will you?

The problem with the pager just happened to me in lxpanel :?
