Description kz 2002-03-21 15:35:11 UTC
Package: metacity
Severity: enhancement
Version: 2.3.55
Synopsis: window open on the workspace where launched.
Bugzilla-Product: metacity
Bugzilla-Component: general

Description:
now,  metacity has four default workspaces. and I found it's useful. :)
but I think there's missing part.

for my turtle box, big monster like galeon waste long long time to
launch.
and I have to wait until the window open on intended workspace.
yeah, there's a workaround to move to another place after open
wherever.
but it is just *workaround*.

do you think that's possible to set the accurate workspace number to
open?
like use of DISPLAY variable to set where to open, :0, :1, so on.

Comment 1 Havoc Pennington 2002-03-21 16:35:52 UTC
This should be done as part of application launch feedback.
Most of the work is not in the window manager.
Comment 2 kz 2002-03-21 16:56:03 UTC
hm... not window manager?... well, then
where should I have to post this issue to fire up?
Comment 3 Havoc Pennington 2002-03-21 17:28:26 UTC
It's already fired up, it's a well-known issue. Will be worked on
right after GNOME 2.
Comment 4 kz 2002-03-21 17:50:36 UTC
ok. waiting...
Comment 5 Luis Villa 2002-05-30 23:15:15 UTC
Enhancement, then, since we don't have a 'pre-2.2' miletone or
something like that.
Comment 6 Havoc Pennington 2003-02-22 22:23:20 UTC
This is done now, when startup notification is used. 
(If you get a busy cursor on launching the app, you should also 
see this behavior working.)
