    [ubuntu] Re: What does "only on this workspace" do?

    So, it seems to me, "only on this workspace" actually means "only on one workspace which may or may not be this one" ... (but that was too long to fit in the context menu)... no?

    [ubuntu] Re: What does "only on this workspace" do?

    Found this definition:

    Sticky: These windows are visible on every desktop/workspace/viewport at once.

    Here:

    [ubuntu] Re: What does "only on this workspace" do?

    Okay, looking in CCSM, the advanced search found "sticky" in three places: Desktop Wall, Window Rules, and Workarounds... I don't have Window Rules on, so it's one of the other two? Under Desktop...

    Re: Massive amounts of spam in Compiz Forums?

    Just noticed this problem myself when trying to figure out what ccsm setting was currently hosing my system. Maybe the spammers clicked the wrong button in ccsm, and it started the avalanche. ...

    [ubuntu] What does "only on this workspace" do?

    I keep getting applications that want to jump to another workspace. (GIMP is the one I'm noticing at the moment, but I've seen in others as well.) I just checked, and "only on this workspace" is...

    [ubuntu] Re: So now what?

    If you really need a CD, you can do a minimal install:

    (The USB is probably a better solution though.)
  10. Re: weird border glitch on maximized windows since latest update in 12.04

    Okay, fixed that and a couple other things (dash wasn't working, for example), by following these steps from:

  11. Re: weird border glitch on maximized windows since latest update in 12.04

    Solved? (Not sure this is a good solution yet, really though...)

    Tried compiz --replace to dump metacity (still in Unity 2D though)...

    The glitch is gone. But now other strange things...
  12. Re: weird border glitch on maximized windows since latest update in 12.04

    Hello?!?

    Is anybody out there?

    If so, can you at least confirm or deny you see the same border glitch when using Unity 2D???

    (The most reliable test looks to be starting a gedit session,...
  13. Re: weird border glitch on maximized windows since latest update in 12.04

    Tried using gconf-editor to turn on:

    /apps/metacity/general/compositor-effects

    But it's still there. Other failures have included:

    unity --reset
    Turning off "window decoration" in ccsm

  17. [lubuntu] Re: All methods of disabling the touchpad while typing are out-of-date

    Checked out Lubuntu in virtualbox, seems like this should work.
  18. Re: Scheduling daily shutdown (with warning preferred)

    No. I do get a message that it's shutting down, but then it doesn't shut down. Maybe it's shutting yours down? (Just joking!)
  19. [lubuntu] Re: All methods of disabling the touchpad while typing are out-of-date

    Have you tried (at a command line)

    xinput list

    xinput float #

    where # is the ID # of the touchpad?

    (P.S. Used this method in Gnomish Ubuntu... not sure if it'll work with LXDE...

    Another detail I've noticed...

    this occurs under Unity 2D. When I switched to 3D, it went away. (Of course, there was some reason I switched to 2D quite a while back, which I'll probably...
  21. Re: weird border glitch on maximized windows since latest update in 12.04

    Another detail I've noticed about this... the border pops up on the top and left sides of maximized windows when switching from one tab to another... it's not just firefox, can do it in Gedit also.

    It's an irritating glitch...
