Comment 1 Raphael Slinckx 2006-04-19 09:56:46 UTC

I think we need to realize the widgetToAlignTo before trying to align the window. This can be done by calling show() on the widgetToAlignTo in the AlignedWindow.py constructor.

Marking as gnome-love since patching should be easy

Comment 2 Mikkel Kamstrup Erlandsen 2006-04-19 21:09:24 UTC

Removing gnome-love :-) I fear 

I think this might actually be trickier than you suspect Raph. Showing the window prematurely will lead to visual jumpiness of the window... Maybe, just *maybe*, calling realize() on the widget will do, but this is just a guess - if I recall correctly this has some issues - I might be wrong though.

Comment 3 Mikkel Kamstrup Erlandsen 2006-04-19 21:10:25 UTC

Strike the "I fear" after the above smilie.

Comment 4 Raphael Slinckx 2006-07-10 11:44:53 UTC

Mikkel have you any ideas on this?

Comment 5 André Klapper 2006-09-30 19:24:53 UTC

Mikkel: *ping*

Raphael, please only use NEEDINFO state if you need additional information submitted by the bug reporter. use ASSIGNED state for developers. thanks a lot and have fun in stockholm, it's a nice city! ;-)

Comment 6 Mikkel Kamstrup Erlandsen 2006-10-02 15:58:19 UTC

I can't reproduce this with 2.16...

Can anyone reproduce?

(Andre I hope it is Ok to mark "Needinfo" now...)

Comment 7 André Klapper 2006-10-04 18:22:27 UTC

mikkel: heh, sure :-)

Comment 8 André Klapper 2006-10-04 18:24:37 UTC

mikkel: heh, sure :-)

Comment 9 Chris Wagner 2006-12-29 16:08:34 UTC

I just ran across this problem on Ubuntu Edgy (6.10), which uses Gnome 2.16.1.  I'll try to see if I can reproduce it again.
