[Pkg-xfce-devel] Bug#321140: xfce4-panel: All windows move about randomly in sawfish if desktop switcher is clicked

[Paul Evans]

Package: xfce4-panel
Version: 4.2.2-1
Severity: important


When switching between desktops by clicking on the desktop switcher, if
sawfish is the window manager, then all the windows move about the
screen massively; they all shift up and left, an amount relating to
exactly where on the switcher was clicked. This affects all windows on
every desktop, not just the one being switched from or to.

This does not happen when using xfwm4. I am unsure quite if it's a
sawfish or an xfce bug; but I note sawfish can successfully switch
desktops by other means (e.g. internal keyboard mappings).
