GNOME Bugzilla – Bug 643396
Favourite icon and dock icon should be same
Last modified: 2011-03-16 14:18:54 UTC
If I've a lot of favourite, and each of the are open, each icons appear twice. One big for the launcher and one small in the bottom for windows switching Before 2.91.90, the launcher and windows switcher was the same icon and I prefer this way Why this has changed ? Is there any option to choose this behaviour ?
This is a bug with the application tracking, not an intentional change. If you start the applications from the shell itself, does it happen? If you restart the shell with Alt+F2 or through the command line, is that when it breaks? If so, what applications are experiencing this behavior, and can you let us know your distribution?
In fact I found the problem only with firefox. If I launch it from alt+F2, by the dash or application menu it's the same, I've a second little icon in the bottom oft the dash. I don't restart the shell But firefox is launched by firefox-bin, and here are the process launched: 31356 pts/0 S+ 0:00 /bin/sh /opt/firefox/firefox 31359 pts/0 S+ 0:00 /bin/sh /opt/firefox/run-mozilla.sh /opt/firefox/firefox-bin 31363 pts/0 Sl+ 0:00 /opt/firefox/firefox-bin As for me the bug is here: the launcher start another program which has another name. I'll try to build firefox thanks to what I'll have only firefox My distro is gentoo But as I'm remember, I didn't have this trouble before 2.91.90 and Firefox was bin and in favourite.
I Didn't remember but I can't build firefox now. The second (little) firefox icon asks me to add it in favorite, whereas Firefox is already in favorite And with this little icon, "open new windows" doesn't work, it re-opens the last windows. but if I open another windows; they will correctly be tracked by this little icon
There is also netbeans 6.9 IDE that shows the same bug It's installed by the hands in opt, and present uin applicatin menu
run-mozilla.sh shouldn't be a separate process. That was fixed upstream mid-2009[0]. Can you try upgrading to a newer version of Firefox? Can you try the steps listed here[1] to give us the WM_CLASS? Either way, this is technically a distro bug. [0] http://hg.mozilla.org/mozilla-central/rev/9ab3645be5aa [1] https://live.gnome.org/GnomeShell/ApplicationBased#WM_CLASS
There is no updated version of firefox in the tree. Here is the WM_CLASS: WM_CLASS(STRING) = "Navigator", "Firefox" if needed, I'll fill a bug with gentoo
Since last update from gentoo, I don't have the problem anymore And the bug filled in on gentoo was closed too
