[Mentis]

When this extension is enabled gnome-session creates zombie xprop process on guake open/close. Cant reproduce this with Pixel Saver.

Thank you for reporting this. I'll look into it as soon as I find some time!

Is there a specific way of triggering this? It seems I can't reproduce it. I'll keep trying though.

1) Is this on X or Wayland? 2) What distribution and Shell version are you using? 3) Some specific steps etc?

Again, thanks for the input!

I can reproduce this reliably Here is my specs:

1. X
2. Ubuntu 17.10 with gnome staging ppa (gnome 3.25)
3. Minimize/Maximize any window, open/close guake.

I really like your addon over pixel saver: it support multiple monitors. Thank you!

Ok, I managed to reproduce this on Gnome 3.25. It seems that 3.22 is unaffected, hence why I coouldn't see the issue.

I'll look into it. Thanks!

I've found the cause of the problem, and reverted the commit that caused it. Can someone confirm that the problem is fixed?

To do so:

git clone https://github.com/franglais125/no-title-bar
cd no-title-bar/
make install

And restart the session.

@jhasse Apologies for reverting your commit [03cfa652acf1fec617db8a36524a81c1ba1d9f9b]. I'll try and see how to work around this.

Thanks to everyone involved!

[Mentis]

That's resolved the issue. Cant reproduce anymore. Thank you!

Hey @Mentis and @jhasse, I'll bother just once more.

I updated master with [36050af49d89d923131c4b6f0a7387007345dfa0]. I think we can now have the workaround by @jhasse, while not creating zombie processes.

Would you mind testing again? We can close the issue if this is successful.

[jhasse]

Seems to work :)

Cant repro xprop issue on latest build. Thanks!

Great! Thanks a lot you both! I'll rewrite history a bit, since the last 2 commits are just messy (in case you decide to git pull).
