Description Alasdair Dinsdale-Arsenault 2005-09-23 18:05:42 UTC 
Please describe the problem:
This is a cosmetic problem, but it does look rather inconsistent. It appears
that if I open Evolution twice by accident, "Starting Evolution" stays in the
window list for up to ten seconds. I don't know if this is reproduceable with
other applications, but it is annoying, especially with a cluttered window list.

Steps to reproduce:
1. Open Evolution
2. Open Evolution again
3. Look at Window-List


Actual results:


Expected results:


Does this happen every time?

I'm not sure there's anything we can do here.
Moving to libwnck for now.
Comment 3 Elijah Newren 2005-10-01 15:03:40 UTC 
This might be from Evolution not correctly supporting startup-notification; i.e.
the second instance notices the first, tells the first instance to open up a new
window, but doesn't tell the first instance to shutdown the startup-notification
stuff.  Something to take a look at when I have time to look at bug 273912 again...
Comment 4 Stephen Cook 2006-08-31 23:29:43 UTC 
This problem has nothing to do with libwnck.  It is a problem in evolution with not calling gdk_notify_startup_complete ().  I have fixed this in bug 271851. This bug is a duplicate and should be marked as so.
Comment 5 Elijah Newren 2006-08-31 23:36:57 UTC 
Cool, thanks for the pointer.  :)  (Of course, gdk_notify_startup_complete() is only part of getting startup-notification right, but at least it does get rid of the temporarily stuck animated pointer and extra tab)
