| ochosi | hi | 07:51 |
| DarkTrick | When menus are opened a click outside the menu would make the menu disappear. But the click will not be valid on the clicked position (e.g. sets a cursor there) | 07:58 |
| DarkTrick | Is this an xubuntu-specific behavior? Or is it the underlying gui framework (like gtk)? | 07:59 |
| guiverc | DarkTrick, I don't know, but it's not Xubuntu specific as far as I know, Lubuntu (with either LXDE & LXQt) can have openbox take the click, thus xfwm maybe on Xubuntu -- but this is pure uneducated guess | 08:19 |
| DarkTrick | guiverc, thanks for the guess! | 08:28 |
| ali1234 | pretty sure it is gtk | 08:30 |
| ali1234 | opening a menu grabs the mouse pointer for exclusive input | 08:31 |
| ali1234 | this is also why the screensaver can't run if you open a menu and walk away from the computer | 08:31 |
| ali1234 | (and note that by "gtk" i mean "the gdk X11 backend") | 08:31 |
| DarkTrick | is there any way to alter the behavior of that? | 08:33 |
| DarkTrick | ali1234, ↑ | 08:34 |
| ali1234 | not really | 08:34 |
| DarkTrick | So the only chance is to implement a menu myself? | 08:35 |
| ali1234 | well, you could patch gdk, but that would be really difficult and not portable | 08:41 |
| DarkTrick | "portable" means "to windows / mac" or "between distributions"? | 08:41 |
| DarkTrick | or do you mean a local patch for my own system? | 08:41 |
| ali1234 | i mean local patch for your system | 08:42 |
| ali1234 | anyone who wanted to run your program would also have to patch gdk | 08:42 |
| ali1234 | so clearly that is a terrible idea | 08:42 |
| ali1234 | you could try asking in #gtk on irc.gnome.org | 08:43 |
| DarkTrick | idd, terrible idea | 08:49 |
| DarkTrick | I tried gtk, but they are rather quiet in there | 08:52 |
