popup menu sometimes do not work

[albfan]

sometimes popup menu is not showed.

If I use something like

$ screenkey --show-settings

popup always work.

I don't know how to debug this problem, since I cannot make --gtk-debug pass to screenkey module, where gtk initializes

Use --debug to see what's going on.

Any news?

--debug do not show anything related to popup (is internal for screenkey). I would prefer something like GTK_DEBUG=all to see all operations underneath.

By now I'm using a more conservative evolution of screenkey that always work for popup, trying to configure that logging to apply on your fork and resolve this.

I want to use your transparency but want to add history (labels appearing on top of actual when sometime pass) something like:

But does it work correctly when you specify --debug?

GTK_DEBUG=all should work if you gtk is built with debug on. You might need to force --no-detach (or --debug), but there's nothing special in screenkey.

I personally never had issues in my tests with the output not showing on the screen. I can only think about the window manager not managing the window hints correctly.

Which window manager are you using? DE? and possible distribution?

I'm using arch linux with GNOME.

I'm expecting to see some

Gtk-WARNING or similar but nothing happens, so I cannot find what' the problem

Could you try to login with an openbox session and see if it does the same?

Do you have multiple monitors? Does it work from gnome when just one monitor is plugged?

Gtk warnings are generally due to usage issues or severe problems in the display server. This looks like either a subtle bug internal to Gtk or something else.

You say that screenkey works perfectly if --show-settings is specified? Could you try with screenkey --no-systray?

[albfan]

Yes I have tried show-settings and that makes it work.

I will try rest of those test and tell you something

Ping @albfan

Pong @wavexx. From what I see popup is only show when you request --show-settings so I really don't know what is this all about, isn't it?

So this remain the same

screenkey  (do not show settings dialog)
screenkey --show-settings (shows always the settings dialog)
