Description Michael Vogt 2005-08-25 09:00:15 UTC

Notification-daemon shows a odd behaviour when the first notification it
displays is a notification window with a arrow. It looks like the
gdk_window_shape_combine_region() call in
PopupNotification::generate_arrow() is not working and there remains a gray area
on top of the window (see attached screenshot). This seems to be only happening
when gtk2.8 is used, gtk2.6 seems to be working fine.

To reproduce just start a new notification daemon and run "test-xy" from the
tests dir. I tried to reproduce the problem in a simple gtk test-case but that
failed. I also checked if gdk_window_shape_combine_region() changed between 2.6
and 2.8 and that seems to be not the case.

(this was reported in ubuntu as http://bugzilla.ubuntu.com/show_bug.cgi?id=14006)

Fix for the problem

Looks like a race condition, the attached patch fixes the problem on my ubuntu
system.

Given that notification-daemon/notify-daemon was rewritten, this shouldn't be an
issue anymore.
