I have the same problem but I am using Beryl from the portage tree. After each "show desktop" I have to add the themes to the desktop again. Beryl is not in the portage tree yet, is it? <checks>...no, it isn't. I assume you're using an unsupported overlay? Out of interest, though: can you describe the process you have to perform to get them back? For me, I have to quit sK, logout of KDE (and back in), then relaunch sK and re-add the various themes. http://packages.gentoo.org/search/?sstring=beryl To get the themes back: I open the Superkaramba window Click the add theme to desktop button And its back, I have to repeat this everytime i use show desktop and for every theme that I use. Hmm, that works for me too now (after closing sK completely). I wonder what caused this change? That makes life a little less painful not having to log back in to reinstate them, but we still need to stop them from disappearing at all. I don't know a lot about this subject (well, sod-all really) but I gather that sK is a unique window-type, one of a set that are defined by X. (You can kinda see this because you can use the compiz fade effect to fade-out the sK themes.) If it's that simple, it should be simple enough to tell compiz to ignore that window-type when it gets a show-desktop or minimize-all instruction. Beryl 1.2 is in tree now, and I have this reported problem too.

New observation as of compiz-0.3.4, pressing "Show Desktop" a second time reinstates all the windows including sK ones. (This worked in Beryl too, incidentally.) Better, but still not quite what we want...

It seems there is a way to prevent this with compiz-0.5.0 (maybe was there before?). Open compiz-settings utility and go into General section at the top. Under Allscreens options, find and un-check "Hide Skip Taskbar Windows". Or if you only have gconf-editor, open that and go to /apps/compiz/general/allscreens/options and un-check hide_skip_taskbar_windows (I guess you can do this manually by editing files, but don't ask me how.) Guess this can be closed now? |
