GNOME Bugzilla – Bug 687938
Force Quit dialog never shown
Last modified: 2014-06-09 19:27:14 UTC
Currently there is no possible to kill freezed applications with metacity. When I click on the close button on the freezed app, nothing happens. In the past (in GNOME 2), a Force Quit dialog shown after a short delay, and I was able to force quit the application by selecting the appropriate option.
Created attachment 228511 [details] [review] Update meta_show_dialog for gtk's removal of --screen I found the same problem in mutter: https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=643683 I applied the same patches on metacity, and it fixes the problem. See the attached patch.
This problem has been fixed in the development version. The fix will be available in the next major software release. Thank you for your bug report.
