configure popup to appear on active workspace
by wombose from LinuxQuestions.org on (#4SPBM)
I have a program that is sending out a popup however it's appearing on the workspace that started the program and not on the workspace that is currently in use. I would like to change this behavior but haven't been able to find how?
I have another linux host with gnome that the popup does come up on the active desktop.
My easy repro scenario:
- open using two workspaces
- execute "sleep 10 && zenity --warning --text 'Wake up!'" on #1
- switch to #2
- after 10 sec popup does not appear on #2
- switch to #1
- observe the popup
On my other system the panel is seen on #2. I however have not been able to find a setting or reason for the differences.
Any help is appreciated as I would like the popup to show on the active desktop so it's not "hidden"
