--- Comment #3 from Giuseppe Bilotta giuseppe.bilotta@gmail.com 2008-04-08 12:36:59 --- Created an attachment (id=11981) --> (http://bugs.winehq.org/attachment.cgi?id=11981) Patch to add owned windows to taskbar if owner isn't mapped
I attach here my proposed solution for this problem, which is to add owned windows to the taskbar if the owner isn't mapped.
Technically speaking, this doesn't solve the problem Dmitry Timoshkov talks about: """ What you need to be fixed is making a zero sized window with WS_VISIBLE style set mapped, but X11/WMs doesn't handle that gracefully. """
Indeed, when I tried to make the zero sized visible window mapped I got odd results such as the zero sized window appearing, with decorations and all, causing strange focusing problems etc.
I don't know if it's even possible to make the zero sized windows mapped in a sensible way, so I propose this alternative fix.
