Focus bad behaviour with Gnome Shell 3.4

[daniele_athome]

With Gnome Shell 3.4 (Ubuntu precise latest beta and packages, on amd64) when closing the terminal via hotkey, it remains focused, and can't be opened again until I manually focus to another window. Using git revision updated as of today. If you need more info just ask, I don't know what else I could provide.

The issue is present even with Yakuake so I guess it's a Gnome Shell issue. You can mark this as invalid.

Same here, Gnome Shell 3.4, extremely annoying behavior.

This fix doesn't work on latest Ubuntu Precise.

Sorry my system was Fedora 17. The solution for you should be replacing the same line with something else similar to what worked on mine. See gtk documentation for Window class and do some hit and trials.

Just for the sake of it, I tried xtranophilist's patch on ArchLinux? without success; however, following his suggestion, I came up with a different solution :

as he said, in /usr/lib/guake/guake.py look for (should be line 808):

self.window.hide() # Don't use hide_all here!

and make it look like this :

self.window.set_keep_below(True)
self.window.hide() # Don't use hide_all here!

Let me know whether that works for you as well or not :-)

Your hacks works on mine system too. Looks like this is the universal fix. Cheers!

Thanks Hador, but it still doesn't work. Same bad behavior.

This solved a similar problem in cinnamon (compiled from git repo on 2012-08-19).

Sabayon 10: The bugfix works as long as there is an active application. If only the desktop is visible without any open applications, the bug is triggered again.

Replying to jotbe: I just tried this on cinnamon and the exact bug happened. If all other windows are minimized the bug appears again.

This bug appears only if "hide on lose focus" enabled.
