Set the window state hints _after_ applying session information (1.07 KB, patch)

Description Ben Roe 2005-01-20 09:50:05 UTC 
Please describe the problem:
If a window is left minimised in a saved gnome session, when the user logs in
again the window thumbnail is drawn in the workspace switcher as if it had been
restored. I've attached a screenshot showing this.

Steps to reproduce:
1. Minimise a window
2. Logout, saving session
3. Log in
4. Look at workspace switcher


Actual results:
Window thumbnail is drawn

Expected results:
No thumbnail shown

Does this happen every time?
Yes

Most likely a metacity problem (metacity has to notify libwnck about the status
of all windows).  Does this still occur with a version of Metacity where the
patch in bug 105665 has been applied?

To answer my own question: Yes, it does still happen, I can duplicate with CVS
HEAD...

Set the window state hints _after_ applying session information

So the problem was just that we set the wm_state and net_wm_state hints too
soon in meta_window_new_with_attrs.  If we set the state after applying saved
session info, then this problem disappears.
