ICCCM initial_state == IconicState doesn't work
Last modified: 2007-04-12 21:40:55 UTC
Please describe the problem: it seems that 'initial_state == IconicState' is currently not working correctly in metacity (gnome 2.16 and current cvs). For example, "xterm -iconic" shows mapped in metacity, while it didn't in previous older versions of metacity. It's a regression as metacity used to implement this properly in previous versions (e.g. metacity 2.8 had this working) Steps to reproduce: 1. Run metacity 2. launch "xterm -iconic" 3. xterm starts mapped while it should start iconic Actual results: Expected results: metacity should honor the ICCCM WM_STATE initial_state and start the application iconified when initial_state == IconicState Does this happen every time? Yes Other information: http://tronche.com/gui/x/icccm/sec-4.html
I can confirm this bug here. I will not confirm in bugzilla yet... let's wait the comments.
