Fullscreen window in metacity hides owned window - wine-devel

2 Oct 2008


      We are seeing a problem in Metacity where a fullscreen window obscures a 
second created window that has a particular style: WS_DLGFRAME | 
WS_THICKFRAME.
When window A is created fullscreen (WS_POPUP, size matches screen res) 
and window B is created as an "owned window" 
(WS_DLGFRAME|WS_THICKFRAME|WS_OVERLAPPED style with "A" as its parent) 
you cannot see "B" if Metacity is running.
You can if other window managers are running. We tried kwin, xfce, 
fluxbox, enlightenment or fvvm. So the problem is something specific to 
Metacity.
You can also see window "B" if you remove either the WS_DLGFRAME or 
WS_THICKFRAME bit from the style.
Any hints about where to look within Wine or what could be happening?
