Make --role behave like other command line arguments (2.80 KB, patch)

Description Vincent Ho 2006-05-31 06:30:48 UTC 
See http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=356059.

--role doesn't work unless you pass a --window-with-profile argument.  That would be okay, except other options like --show-menubar, --geometry also supposedly work on the last-specified window, yet work even without an explicit --window-with-profile argument.

Make --role behave like other command line arguments

Yup, that's a bug because it is unnecessarily inconsistent.

This patch makes --role work without an explicit --window argument (and in passing removes an useless {} block)

NOTE: this patch assumes that the one in bug #305268 is applied (it's slightly hard to make orthogonal patches for both bugs) so this will have to wait till after g-t branches off the new stable series.

This problem has been fixed in the development version. The fix will be available in the next major software release. Thank you for your bug report.
