Description Pierre-Charles David 2006-05-01 10:53:12 UTC
Please describe the problem:
When I close an application using the 'X' button on its titlebar and the app
responds by a dialog (usually a confirmation and/or an opportunity to save
unsaved changes), Metacity triggers its "Force quit" dialog and steals the focus
before I can read the message, let alone respond to it.

Steps to reproduce:
1. Open gedit (for example).
2. Type something in it, but don't save the document.
3. Quit gedit by clicking on the window's 'X' button.
4. gedit pops up a dialog asking if you want to save your work.


Actual results:
Shortly after gedit's dialog has appeared (about 2 seconds), Metacity pops up a
"Warning" dialog which offers to "force quit" gedit. The new dialog appears on
top of the previous one and steals its focus.

Expected results:
No interference from metacity during what is the normal behaviour of the
application (here gedit).

Does this happen every time?
Yes.

Other information:
I'm running Ubuntu Dapper for AMD 64, up to date as of 2004-04-30. Metacity
package is 2.14.3-0ubuntu1. Don't know if Debian and/or Ubuntu specific patches
can explain this behaviour. I don't remember seeing this in Breezy (well the
force qui dialog was there, but I don't remember it being so annoying).

Someone else that gets this using dapper, interesting.  Any chance you can try upstream versions of metacity, gedit, and gtk+ instead of the debian/ubuntu patched ones?
