Bug Description

Binary package hint: yakuake

Now before you go and say that Beryl is alpha/beta/gamma/whatever blah blah, I'd like to note that this is the ONLY application with this problem.

After you hide yakuake using F12, when trying to bring it back to the front to view, it will be hidden behind the front-most window. The engine used for the theme is legacy, so that might have something to do with it (gnome's window manager is awful), but yakuake should be setting an "always on top" sort of flag with it. I don't know if it does do that for kwin, but it needs to do that with Beryl at least.

If this is a bug with Beryl, go ahead and re-categorise as you see fit.

OK, I remember seeing this bug on Beryl's tracker, and now that Ubuntu officially has Beryl in its repositories, I can move the bug to beryl-manager and link to its external bug report. Enjoy!

Oooh, lovely. It's actually a beryl-core bug, though, and I officially fail at launchpad. Meh.

Workaround is, of course, FSP set to none, but the FSP code was taken (almost) verbatim from kwin, so it's interesting that kwin doesn't have the problem.

Will look into it.

The behaviour I'm seeing here is that when FSP is set to "High" or "Extreme", invoking yakuake with F12 results in normal behaviour; the other half of the time, it shows up behind the front window. _Focus_ works as expected in all cases.

Xprop indicates that there are no differences between the window in either case.

Beryl is replaced by Compiz Fusion, so has been removed from Gutsy.
