Bug Description

Binary package hint: compiz

When wxWidgets creates task bar icons they are not shown. It can be replicated by starting the wxPython demo. This seems to be the problem:

Hi,

Thanks for taking the time to report this bug and help make Ubuntu better. I think you need to provide two things to help people out with creating this:

1.) A link to the file containing the demo which exhibits the problem - and if applicable the commands to run that demo.
2.) A screenshot of the buggy behaviour (i.e. where on the screen the icons don't show)

If you can provide this information then I may be able to confirm the bug.

hi, here's more information (and also a screenshot):
http://trac.wxwidgets.org/ticket/13146

This is likely due to a broken window manager which claims to support _NET_REQUEST_FRAME_EXTENTS, but does not actually implement it.

maybe related to:
https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/compiz/+bug/334358?comments=all

there's no actual solution as for now, but a patch is available for wxwidgets (2.9.1 / 2.9.2) for "detecting WM with broken _NET_REQUEST_FRAME_EXTENTS handling". i think it should be fixed in compix and / or gnome and / or ubuntu 11.04

i can provide a way to test this bug, but you will need to compile wxwidgets (2.9.1 or svn) and compile taskbar sample.

When I run metacity --replace (of course this completely breaks unity) the problem is solved, so it is indeed something in compiz

Thank you for reporting this bug to Ubuntu. 11.04 reached EOL.
See this document for currently supported Ubuntu releases: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Releases

Please upgrade to the latest version and re-test. If the bug is still reproducible, increase the verbosity of the steps to recreate it so we can try again.

Do feel free to report any other bugs you may find.
