Re: [orca-list] Compiz static switcher cuts off window title

[Willie Walker <William Walker Sun COM>]

Hi Bill:

I suspect it might be some odd window activate/deactivate ordering  
coming from Compiz:

http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=582916
http://bugs.opencompositing.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1027

In order to help find why things are being called, I'll sometimes add a  
temporary debug.printStack(debug.LEVEL_OFF) call to the code. This will  
place a stack trace in the debug log.

Thanks for your work on Compiz!  I think it might be a struggle for a  
bit, and I think some code in Compiz might need to be modified. I'll  
bet the Compiz developers would love a patch from you. :-)

Will
