Description Mariano Suárez-Alvarez 2003-10-13 01:00:37 UTC 
The summary says it all: tooltips should display WM_NAME, not WM_ICON_NAME.

Follows a patch that does it.

Updated version of mariano's patch that applies against HEAD

The changes in bug 148370 made Mariano's patch not apply due to code changes in
the "context" region.  It was trivial to update, though, so this patch contains
no real changes from Mariano's version.

Updated version of mariano's patch that applies against HEAD

I think it would be a slight improvement if wnck_task_get_text() took an enum
TITLE_TEXT/ICON_TEXT - that makes invocations of it readable without referring
back to the function declaration. But not a blocker for committing this.

Do you want the [foo] and =foo= stuff in the tooltip? I guess that could be a
separate bug, but when committing this maybe may as well not include it in
window title text, only in icon text.
Comment 8 Kjartan Maraas 2005-05-16 22:55:32 UTC 
Should this be commited? Has been accepted-commit_now for a long time.
Comment 9 Elijah Newren 2005-07-18 04:01:21 UTC 
There were two minor conflicts with current cvs but they were trivial to fix so
I went ahead and finally committed this.
