Description:
There are problems with maximizing minimized programs since Gnome 2.26. When a program is minimized, I switch to another (maximized) program on another desktop and want to switch back to the first program, it neither gets the focus nor is it maximized. You have to switch back to the desktop where the program runs to regain control on it. I tested it with Streamtuner and Firefox Additional info: Gnome desktop 2.26-0.1 streamtuner 0.99.99-10 Firefox 3.0.8-1 Steps to reproduce: Open streamtuner on desktop 1 and minimize it Switch to desktop 2 and open Firefox (maximized) Now you see the task of Firefox and Streamtuner in the taskbar. Streamtuner is in brackets like this [ streamtuner ] because it's minimized. Usually when you want to switch back into streamtuner, you just had to click the [ streamtuner ] task. In gnome 2.26 when you click this task, the font of [ streamtuner ] becomes fat and begins to blink, but it neither gets the focus nor is it maximized. You have to switch back to desktop 1 (where streamtuner runs). When you click the task in this desktop now, it is displayed maximized as usual. [UPDATE] While these tests Firefox suddendly looses the focus although it wasn't minimized. I had to minimize, to maximize, and to shift the programs from one desktop to another to regain control of Firefox. Earliert tests led me to a behaviour, with which I wasn't able to regain control on Firefox. I had to close Firefox with the context menu and had to reopen it. I don't know how to reproduce this behaviour yet, but it's basically one bug. |

The problem still exists (gnome-desktop 2.26.2-1)
@JGC:
I have metacity version extra/metacity 2.26.0-2, but the problem does not seem to be solved with it.
