Status: RESOLVED INVALID

(SeaMonkey :: OS Integration, defect)

Description

[chAlx]

Attachment: Starting seamonkey lag screenshot

User Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; Linux x86_64; rv:16.0) Gecko/20121011 Firefox/16.0 SeaMonkey/2.13.1
Build ID: 20121011080644

Steps to reproduce:

Installed seamonkey-mozilla-build_2.13.1-0ubuntu1_amd64.deb into Debian from the Ubuntuzilla repository. Run "Mozilla Build of Seamonkey" from Applications menu.


Actual results:

Two new window titles appeared on taskbar: "Seamonkey" and "Starting Mozilla Build of Seamonkey". First is an empty navigator window, second is not switchable and has no a window frame.
Desktop became busy (watches in mouse cursor while over desktop/taskbar).
After ~15 seconds annoying not-a-window title disappeared from the taskbar and mouse cursor got normal.


Expected results:

One new window with one title at taskbar.

Some details:

* Reproduced: always when i start Seamonkey from the Applications menu.
* I have some Seamonkey windows opened (in other desktops).
* I have the "Restore session on startup" feature turned on, and a home page for new windows. But launcher opens blank navigator.
* Launcher menu item dragged to the Gnome panel have the same behavior.
* Copied panel icon became normal after dummy command edition (added+deleted space). The command is "seamonkey %u".
* Just copied desktop icon has no panel2.d config file.
* Edited desktop icon has config file ~/.gnome2/panel2.d/default/launchers/seamonkey.desktop:

#!/usr/bin/env xdg-open

Sorry not many Ubuntu users here. We don't know how Ubuntuzilla integrates SeaMonkey into the Application Menu. Perhaps you can ask the Ubuntuzilla people?

Oh thanks Philip, i couldn't guess myself that Seamonkey has no installer for GNOME (having it for Win and Mac).

BTW it's all about StartupNotify param in .desktop files and --enable-startup-notification build option.
