Apache OpenOffice (AOO) Bugzilla – Issue 17631
Same WM_CLASS for all windows
Last modified: 2010-06-20 17:08:22 UTC
I have tryed make some hack with winoptions in IceWM for hotfix issue 15852 for me but I've found some stupid thinks. xprop | grep -i class and click on main window OOo WM_CLASS(STRING) = "VCLSalFrame", "OpenOffice.org 1.1" xprop | grep -i class and click on slideshow WM_CLASS(STRING) = "VCLSalFrame", "OpenOffice.org 1.1" xprop | grep -i class and click on dialogs WM_CLASS(STRING) = "VCLSalFrame", "OpenOffice.org 1.1" xprop | grep -i class and click on stylist WM_CLASS(STRING) = "VCLSalFrame", "OpenOffice.org 1.1" It disable some usefull advantage with winoptions. Maybe I want swith off frame, fix on some position, set to top and notcover as panel may be stylist. And other. I think it will be better if different windows have different names and everybody can do what want. I guess it isn't very dificult to correct it. In my opinion it's bug, but somebody else can consider this is enhancement.
Whatever it is - it belongs to the gsl project.
cp->pl: do not understand as well. please have a look
WM_CLASS contains an X resource name to be used for the window in question for identification and resource lookup. OOo never used the X resource system which is why there are no class names; since ICCCM states WM_CLASS must be present when a (managed) window leaves withdrawn state i built in a generic class name for all VCL windows. Since there is absolutely no class name inherent for any window the only way would be if i implemented API that a class name can be set by the application and every window creator would have to set it. This would be one small step for me but a huge effort for all application developers as there are some thousand different types of windows in OOo. Since this only works if done for all windows this is not my decision. As i think this is a feature reuqest this should be discussed by the user experience group, so i'll forward this issue to them.
LHO->CJ: Please take over.
Reassigned to Bettina, because it is a feature request.
