Totem lost its titlebar
Last modified: 2017-05-20 02:16:07 UTC
Please describe the problem: I can't describe it correctly, so please look at the screenshot. http://img205.imageshack.us/my.php?image=zrzutekranu2xp.png Steps to reproduce: 1. 2. 3. Actual results: Expected results: Does this happen every time? Other information:
Is a window manager running? Do other applications have a titlebar?
I'm using Metacity all the time, and other applications work OK.
Which version of Totem are you using?
Still I'm using 1.4 from rpm.livna.org.
Sorry for bothering you, newly compiled 1.5.2 works perfectly in this case.
OK, maybe not. :( http://img71.imageshack.us/my.php?image=zrzutekranu8ok.png Sometimes it's occurs every time, sometimes only on some files.
Just how do you reproduce that? I have no idea what problem you're seeing, and not having any hints as to how it would happen doesn't help.
It happens randomly, so unfortunately I can't help you with this.
Also found in Ubuntu bugtracker with a "way" of reproducing it: https://launchpad.net/products/totem/+bug/37706 A friend of mine experienced it for quite some time and solved it by setting the position of the window I think in the file /usr/share/totem/totem.glade

Moving the window makes the titlebar show up?
There's no Metacity in Totem's window. Propably it's a bug in Metacity, because on compiz everything works OK.
Totem's titlebar is being placed exactly underneath the panel with no way of clicking on it. Here is a screenshot: http://boucault.iiens.net/totem.png
Totem doesn't move the main window, or anything like that, so it would be a window manager bug, reassigning.
Crazy. Metacity must think the window should be undecorated. 1. Run in a terminal xprop 2. Click on the totem window that has no decorations using the funny-looking cursor that pops up. 3. Paste the output in here. Also a verbose log would be useful: 1. Reduce your desktop to as few windows as possible to reproduce the bug 2. Run METACITY_VERBOSE=1 METACITY_USE_LOGFILE=1 metacity --replace 3. On stdout metacity will print the name of the logfile 4. Reproduce the bug as quickly as possible 5. Kill the metacity you started above to stop the logfile from growing any longer 6. Attach the logfile here
Rob: I'm not so sure the window is undecorated. To those who have reproduced: When this happens, can you press Alt+F7, and then the down key repeatedly to move the window down? When you do that, does the titlebar appear? The screenshots really don't say whether there is a titlebar and it's just offscreen, or whether there's no titlebar at all. I'm suspecting that a titlebar is present but is just offscreen. This would be due a bug in metacity in the case where totem sets a minimum height hint larger than the workarea height -- it's already filed as bug 333328 (the "I never implemented the keep-titlebar-onscreen constraint" bug).
The titlebar is really present just completely hidden by the panel. I am able to move the window either with Alt+drag or left button on a border or Alt+F7 and the titlebar becomes visible. Concerning the report targeted at Metacity, unfortunately I am unable to reproduce the bug "reliably".
I fixed this today; it's in the 2.15.34 release. *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of 333328 ***
