[Bug 367055] [NEW] "Sticky" field in Window Rules in Compiz Settings Manager doesn't check "Always on Visible Workspace"

[David M. Karr]

Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: compiz

Ubuntu 8.10. Compiz 1:0.7.8-0ubuntu4.1.

(I first asked about this in the Compiz Support forum, and in user-
ubuntu, to no avail.)

I installed the "fusion-icon" package so I could access the Compiz
Settings Manager.  I brought it up and went to the "Window Rules"
section.  I edited the "Sticky" field and set it to the following value:

    class=Emacs | class=Gnome-system-monitor

I determined these values by running "xprop WM_CLASS | cut -d\" -f4" and
clicking on both the Emacs window and the System Monitor window.

I then tabbed out of the field and then clicked the "Back" button (Note
that the process for "saving" values you set in these dialogs is
ambiguous, as there is no "Save" operation.).  I then closed the
settings manager.

I then killed all existing instances of the System Monitor and Emacs.  I
brought up both applications.  I checked the right-click menu on the
icon and title bar, and neither window had the "Always in Visible
Workspace" checkbox checked.

I then restarted the box, logged back in, started Emacs and System
Monitor again, and they still did not have the AiVW checkbox checked.  I
went back into Compiz Settings Manager and verified the value I entered
for the "Sticky" field was still there.
