moving a gimp window to another workspace problem #593

Open GoogleCodeExporter opened 8 years ago

GoogleCodeExporter commented 8 years ago 
What steps will reproduce the problem?

1. Start Gimp on workspace 1.
2. You shall have two Gimp windows - toolbox and image.
3. Move image window to workspace 2.

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?

I expect to have toolbox window on workspace 1 and image window on workspace 2. 
Instead, both windows end up on workspace 2. Having these
two windows on separate workspaces is useful when working with two
monitors.

What version of the product are you using? On what operating system?

xmonad 0.11, ghc 7.8.4, Linux.

If Gimp is using a Gtk+ palette window, you don't have any say about what 
workspace it is on; it will be moved with the main window. You *may* be able to 
explicitly move the palette window to another workspace (assuming they use EWMH 
and not native X11; in the latter case it will be override-redirect and xmonad 
and other window managers can't control it at all), but don't be surprised if 
Gtk+ moves it back with the main window at some point. (One of the annoying 
things about the EWMH spec is it explicitly takes control of this kind of thing 
away from the user and gives it to the program.)

Yes, the toolbox window is moved back immediately after switching workspaces.
