[Pkg-xfce-devel] Bug#367616: xfce4: Alarm dialog from JPilot does not appear in current workspace.

[Eric Lavarde]

Package: xfce4
Version: 4.2.3
Severity: normal


Hi,

I have the issue with JPilot but I imagine it's the same for other kinds of
pop-up/alarm dialog.
Under KDE, when the alarm dialog from JPilot pops-up (for a due
meeting), the dialog appears in the current workspace so that I would
see it and could go to my meeting. Under Xfce, the alarm dialog appears
in the workspace where JPilot is, so that I generally don't see it.

I've kind of temporarily solved the issue by letting JPilot start a
separate xmessage dialog, and this one pops-up in the current workspace.

I would really appreciate if this issue could be solved, I've already
been late a few times.

Thanks, Eric
