GNOME Bugzilla – Bug 118814
Minimizing animation detrimental to work.
Last modified: 2004-12-22 21:47:04 UTC
I upgraded to Gnome 2.2 on Slackware 9, and have found MetaCity to unhelpful because of its minimization animation. AFAIK, it cannot be turned off; this implies it is a bug (any undesired behaviour which cannot be disabled). I have a large Xinerama desktop, and often have several windows open at once. I like to have vidoes going on one of them while I work. Having the minmization animation randomly scribble over all my windows (since I have 2 instances of the taskbar, one on each monitor, it will pick left or right based on solar flare activity) causes much annoyance -- especially when it scribbles over the media window. The moment I do alt+space+n or hit minimize, my attention is elsewhere. Please add a control to remove this.
