gestures don't work in gnome 3 activity overview #175

Closed GoogleCodeExporter closed 8 years ago

GoogleCodeExporter commented 8 years ago 
if i set a gesture (4 finger drag up/down) to send the key 'Super' to toggle 
the activity overview it always brings it up, but once in the overview the 
gestures don't work.

i've tested 3 finger gestures as well, also tested setting drag up to 'Super' 
and drag down to 'Escape' to see if that made a difference.

also, if i stay on the activities overview, and gesture the hell out of the 
touchpad for a while, i get the following error:
Failed to dispatch geis events

only when i am in activity overview do i see this error.

Please, check this issue:

I think that is a similar problem

not really sure on comment 16, but comment 14 is exactly the problem i am 
having:
http://code.google.com/p/touchegg/issues/detail?id=98#c14

tough unlike other reports on that issue thread, triggering actions while 
focused on the desktop works for me just fine. don't have any window in focus. 
i am running nautilus 3.4.2 if that helps (maybe its just an issue on newer 
versions or older versions of nautilus?)

The problem is that mutter doesn't add the activity overview window to the 
_NET_CLIENT_LIST_STACKING property. Touchégg uses this property to know the 
class of the window that results null, making impossible to execute any 
gesture. I'll try to bypass this issue, but really is a mutter non EWMH 
compilance bug...

Hi!

Please, download and compile the SVN source code, I think that this bug is 
solved with the last changes

hey, just got around to doing this -- works like a charm! thanks.

as for the mutter bug; to clarify so i can post this, the activity overview is 
not added to_NET_CLIENT_LIST_STACKING and this is is not EWMH compliant. what 
is EWMH? also i'll send you a link if they got questions, since mutter or any 
wm is out of my realm.

thanks again.

EWMH is a must and mustn't for window managers:
