Description Eugene T 2004-03-31 18:26:25 UTC 
Description of Problem:

The glinks web browser (links2 from
http://atrey.karlin.mff.cuni.cz/~clock/twibright/links/)
.
New windows are not decorated (they have no window
borders or title bar). Resizing the window fixes
the problem.


Steps to reproduce the problem:
1. Open a new links2 window in graphical X mode
2. Be running Metacity with default theme
Opening a new window in the running instance also
has the same problem

How often does this happen? 
Often, but not every time.
Comment 1 Rob Adams 2004-03-31 18:38:20 UTC 
Could you please do the following:
Get a glinks window open so that it is not decorated.  Then, from a terminal,
type "xprop" then click on the glinks window.  Attach the output of the command
to this bug.  Thanks.
Comment 2 Eugene T 2004-04-01 01:21:45 UTC 
xprop results:

_NET_WM_ICON_GEOMETRY(CARDINAL) = 554, 745, 181, 22
_NET_WM_DESKTOP(CARDINAL) = 0
_NET_WM_STATE(ATOM) =

                icon window: 0x0

WM_ICON_NAME(STRING) = "Links - Google"

Comment 3 Havoc Pennington 2004-04-01 19:27:39 UTC 
Need a log file to see why it ended up without decorations
Comment 4 Eugene T 2004-04-01 22:16:29 UTC 
I'm sorry, how would I do that? Can metacity be started in debugging mode? I
don't see this as a command-line option.
The system is Gentoo Linux on x86 with 2.6.3
Comment 5 Eugene T 2004-04-01 22:54:11 UTC 
2.6.3 I meant Metacity, not the kernel, of course
Comment 6 Elijah Newren 2004-04-03 05:48:30 UTC 
To get a log file, run
  METACITY_DEBUG=1 METACITY_USE_LOGFILE=1 metacity --replace
That command will display the file that it logs things to; you can then
reproduce this bug and send us a zipped version of that log file.

It may also be helpful if you could try out a newer version of Metacity as well.
 2.6.3 is getting somewhat old and there have been numerous changes and fixes in
the meantime.
Comment 7 Elijah Newren 2004-10-14 23:03:05 UTC 
Eugene: Does this problem still occur for you?  Can you get a logfile for us? 
Also, it looks like I left out METACITY_VERBOSE=1 on that command line.
Comment 8 Elijah Newren 2004-12-30 18:08:10 UTC 
Looks like this is the same bug as 133584, so I'll mark it as such.
