           Summary: KWin won't give windows with GDK_WINDOW_TYPE_HINT_DOCK
                    the focus, so openoffice.org presentations on
                    dual-head KDE fails
           Product: kwin
           Version: unspecified
          Platform: Fedora RPMs
        OS/Version: Linux
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: NOR
         Component: general
        AssignedTo: kwin@kde.org
        ReportedBy: james@albanarts.com


Version:            (using KDE 4.3.0)
OS:                Linux
Installed from:    Fedora RPMs

This was originally reported to redhat
(https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=506984). They came to the
conclusion that it was a problem in kwin.

Original problem description:
when multiple monitors are set up, openoffice.org impress won't show slideshow
properly.
it creates a window over one of the screens (whichever it is set to in slide
show settings) that cannot be moved or closed (except with xkill), which has 2
scrollbars, but isn't updated (so it keeps whatever was drawn underneath).
scrolling moves the garbage around, but no slides are shown.
escape, clicking etc doesn't work, only xkill (ctrl+alt+esc) which kills
openoffice.
when displaying on a different screen, the main gui can still be interacted
with, but slideshow still broken as above.
slideshow displays correctly when only one monitor is set up
it does this even with a clean blank presentation.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
openoffice.org-impress.x86_64 1:3.1.0-11.3.fc11

How reproducible:
always

Steps to Reproduce:
Run the demo program mentioned below or:
1. open openoffice.org impress
2. create empty slide show
3. slide show -> slide show (F5)

Actual results:
test fails with GDK_WINDOW_TYPE_HINT_DOCK
window which doesn't get updated and can't be closed, with scrollbars, but no
slide show

Expected results:
test should pass with GDK_WINDOW_TYPE_HINT_DOCK
slideshow should be displayed

Additional info:
I'll attach a stand alone demo in a moment, authored by Caolan McNamara (see RH
bug for more info)
"So, like dtardon says, we're not able to force focus into the presentation
window, the reasons seems to be KWin's handling of windows with
GDK_WINDOW_TYPE_HINT_DOCK where we never get focus for such a window."
