Description Vidar Braut Haarr 2005-09-02 22:34:28 UTC 
Distribution/Version: Ubuntu

Whenever I return to my computer after a longer absence, like 2 hours, some
applications are missing widgets.

bug 314457 comment 2 and bug 314457 comment 3 has some more information.

I'm sorry I don't have more information, but I'm not sure how to obtain more ...

I'm not sure this is the right product/component, or if it's even possible to
tell yet.

Running Ubuntu Breezy updated daily, the bug has been present for about a week
that I have noticed. Currently running XOrg Ubuntu 6.8.2-56 20050901063948 and
clearlooks 2.6.5-0ubuntu1.

Maybe I should try running with a different theme engine for a few days as a
test? Please provide test pointers.

I'm marking this Urgent because frankly, applications without widgets aren't
really usable at all.
Comment 1 Vidar Braut Haarr 2005-09-02 22:37:57 UTC 
Sorry, I should've repeated the information from bug 314457 here: the widgets
aren't really gone; they appear again when you hover over them if they have a
mouseover effect, or when you click them if they have a hitbox.

So it would seem they are not being redrawn when they should be.
Comment 2 Vidar Braut Haarr 2005-09-03 14:31:01 UTC 
The widgets also reappear if I use another window as a brush and "paint" over
the missing widgets.
Comment 3 Matthias Clasen 2005-12-21 06:55:32 UTC 
The cited bugs seem to indicate that this was due to inotify/gamin problems which have been fixed.
