no window icon in pager on 24 pixels panel
Last modified: 2018-01-24 13:31:27 UTC
That bug has been described on https://launchpad.net/distros/ubuntu/+source/gnome-panel/+bug/34713 "In Breezy's desktop-switcher applet, applications that are running in full screen will have their icon shown in the desktop switcher. Dapper (Flight5 LiveCD) does not to this, which makes using multiple desktops slightly less convenient. Is this a regression, or has this function been removed for some reason? ... > Thanks for your bug. Could you make a screenshot of the issue? What panel width are you using? When you use a fullscreen app you don't have any panel or applet, maybe you speak about maximized window rather? ... Here's a screenshot of my current Breezy desktop; notice the Opera, XChat & Nautilus icons in the first three desktops, and the Synatic icon in the last. http://www.warbard.ca/temp/Breezy_desktop.png And yes, I mean maximized window apps, not strictly speaking fullscreen. My resolution is 1280x1024; Gnome's panel setup is stock Ubuntu. I'll run a Dapper Flight5 LiveCD tomorrow and get a screenshot from it to compare. ... "
The feature is still working but not on a 24 pixels panel which is the default configuration

Gah, I tried reproducing again, and now it works. Last time I tried, it was with 2.18, though. But I believe Sebastien can reproduce with 2.19.
happens with 2.19.2, change the size to 23, the icon is not displayed, change to 24 again still no icon, at 25 the icon is displayed

Whether is was coincidence or not, I don't know but as an after thought, the icons showed at 24px when using vesa. After installing the nvidia driver (both times), I no longer had icons in the workspace switcher at 24px. 25px with nvidia does work.... I didn't repeatedly log in and out of X with alternating drivers to confirm... Again, that's just a reflection after thought... Could be something to it tho.
I can confirm that this is still happening with version 2.22.2 on an older nVidia card (a GeForce 4 Ti4400) and Intel chipset (945), on two separate machines. In both cases increasing the size to 25 or higher fixes the problem. However, I have another machine with a newer nVidia card that is a bit more recent and it isn't occurring at all. I don't think this problem is hardware specific, I think it's a config file problem somewhere. The two machines that have this issue have both been running gnome for some time and have been regularly kept up to date. The machine that doesn't have the problem has only recently had a fresh install of gnome2. I'll try with a live CD on both problem machines and see if it still occurs.
