Description kz 2003-08-25 22:56:40 UTC 
Distribution: Red Hat Linux release 9 (Shrike)
Package: metacity
Severity: trivial
Version: GNOME2.3.6 2.5.x
Gnome-Distributor: GNOME.Org
Synopsis: Multiple occurances of a name in button_layout ignored
Bugzilla-Product: metacity
Bugzilla-Component: general
Bugzilla-Version: 2.5.x
Description:
Description of Problem:
I want to put close button on both of frame.
Metacity ignore second(right) close button and blank the box.

Steps to reproduce the problem:
1. turn the debug messages on.
2. change button_layout of gconf to have close twice, separated by ':'.

Actual Results:
Topic says; PREFS: Ignoring unknown or already-used button name "close"

Expected Results:
Just double occurance of close button.

Additional Information:
Metacity should not _ignore_ user's preferences with any reason.
If user do a stupid thing, that's what the user want.
Double occurance of same close button is harmless to metacity,
and useful to user, at least to me.

Ignoring already-used button name is evil, I think.

It's not ignored for any reason, except that it was a fair bit of 
work to implement allowing multiple copies of a button. 
Feel free to implement...
