[Bug 277629] [NEW] Desktop grid locks X when something is being displayed full screen

[Vítor Souza]

Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: kwin

-vitor at seattle:~$ lsb_release -rd
Description:    Ubuntu intrepid (development branch)
Release:        8.10

vitor at seattle:~$ uname -a
Linux seattle 2.6.27-4-generic #1 SMP Wed Sep 24 01:30:51 UTC 2008 i686 GNU/Linux

I installed Intrepid Alpha 6 and have been running apt-get update; apt-
get upgrade daily. I believe I'm in sync with Intrepit Beta now.

I have activated Desktop Effect "Desktop Grid" and set the bottom right
corner of the screen as an activator for the feature.

When something is full screen (tested with OpenOffice presentation and
MPlayer video) and I move the mouse pointer to that corner, the pointer
changes to the little hand but the desktop grid is not shown (maybe it's
in the background). At this point, there's nothing else I can do except
kill X (Ctrl+Alt+Backspace), because I can neither select a desktop nor
operate on the software that is occupying the full screen.

I haven't tested throughly... Maybe other global shortcuts (Alt+F2?)
work during the deadlock. Maybe the same thing happens with "Present
Windows" feature. I'll leave that to you. Thanks.
