Description 931987 2006-05-07 15:41:10 UTC
I use fbpager-0.1.4 together with fluxbox-0.9.14-r1 and after a restart/reload from the fluxbox menu, it doesn't show the open windows correctly. Some dissapear from fbpager or there are some, which are already closed.
Everytime I reload/restart fluxbox from the menu or shortcut I have also to kill and restart fbpager.

Comment 1 931987 2006-05-15 08:36:08 UTC
I realised that the problem appears only, if I use fbpager _without_ the fluxbox slit.
Comment 2 931987 2006-05-22 10:36:49 UTC
All right, I am using now fbpager-0.1.4 in the slit (fluxbox). But I've discovered that it also doesn't work the right way. If i minimize/raise windows three or four  times in a row, fbpager doesn't show the minimized/raised window. I have to redo this minimize/raise stuff so that it appears again. I'll attache 2 screenshots, so you understand what I mean.

fbpager (bottom/right) should actually show the firefox-window.

...and so should it be.
Comment 5 postmodern 2006-05-30 16:42:46 UTC
It appears this problem is fixed in fluxbox-0.9.15.1, mind testing this out?
Comment 6 931987 2006-05-30 23:10:11 UTC
thx for response. I've tried fluxbox-0.9.15.1 out, but the problem is still there.
Comment 7 Jim Ramsay (lack) (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2007-05-14 22:03:47 UTC
I remember experiencing this error in earlier versions of fluxbox, but cannot replicate it any more with fluxbox-1.0_rc3

Can you please verify that it is still broken?
Comment 8 931987 2007-05-17 10:04:48 UTC
yes, it's still there using fluxbox-1.0-rc3 with fbpager-0.1.4.
Comment 9 Jim Ramsay (lack) (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2007-06-28 19:13:29 UTC
I just discovered that upstream knows about this bug.

Their tracker reference:

http://sourceforge.net/tracker/index.php?func=detail&aid=1036628&group_id=35398&atid=413960
Comment 10 Jim Ramsay (lack) (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2007-12-05 18:39:51 UTC
No response from upstream on their tracker yet, but I assume they'll fix it some day.  When they do, I'll bump fbpager.

in the mean time, there are other pages you may find useful.  I personally use rox-base/pager which seems to work fine with fluxbox.
