Summary: Windows not raised properly on Win32

Initial Comment:
This may be a GTK bug. I have "Raise Window" checked in
the preferences. When a message arrives, the
conversation window raises above other GTK windows, but
it stays under native windows. The title bar blinks, as
it should.

Another note - when taskbar is set to auto-hide, it actually
raises the task bar and blinks, which is the correct
behavior. However, as stated before, when taskbar is
permanenmtly on screen, nothing happens. I think it should
be blinking...

I submited a patch for gdk_window_raise in GDK library:


1420c1420,1443
<       API_CALL (BringWindowToTop, (GDK_WINDOW_HWND (window)));
---
>
>       // API_CALL (BringWindowToTop, (GDK_WINDOW_HWND
(window))); the

windows, but

documentation for
>       // SetForegroundWindow call and for SetWindowPos
call (read the

>       //
>       // Instead of the above call, we make two calls: one
to make the

Can we lobby for this patch to be admitted?

OK, so I went and recompiled GAIM, and recompiled GDK (not
GTK, though - GTK is a much harder nut to crack). I traced
the raising of windows to the Windows API call. And that
call does not work. No way no how. The end result of my
investigation is a 60-lines GTK sample that demonstrates the
brokennes independently of GAIM. I'll try to submit it to
the GTK authors. Any tips on how to doit would be
appreciated. Or may be someone can submit the code for me...

Here is the code:
<pre>

#include <gtk/gtk.h>
#include <glib.h>
#include <gdk/gdk.h>

GtkWidget *windowBase, *windowTop;
GdkColor red, blue;

gboolean raiseOnTimer(gpointer data)
{
    static int colorChoice = 0;
    GdkColor *color = colorChoice ? &red : &blue;

    colorChoice = !colorChoice;

    gdk_window_raise(windowTop->window);

    gtk_widget_modify_bg (windowTop, GTK_STATE_NORMAL, color);
   
    return 1;
}

int
main (int argc, char **argv)
{
    GdkColormap *cmap;

    gtk_init (&argc, &argv);

    cmap = gdk_colormap_get_system ();

    red.red = 0xffff;
    red.green = 0;
    red.blue = 0;
    gdk_color_alloc (cmap, &red);

    blue.red = 0;
    blue.green = 0;
    blue.blue = 0xffff;
    gdk_color_alloc (cmap, &blue);

    windowBase = gtk_window_new (GTK_WINDOW_TOPLEVEL);    
    windowTop = gtk_window_new (GTK_WINDOW_TOPLEVEL);
   
    gtk_window_set_title((GtkWindow *)windowBase, "testRaise
base window");
    gtk_window_set_title((GtkWindow *)windowTop, "testRaise
top window");

    g_timeout_add(10000, raiseOnTimer, NULL);

    gtk_widget_show(windowBase);
    gtk_widget_show(windowTop);    

    gtk_main();
    return 0;
}

</pre>

THe problem is back with 1.0.1 (actually, it returned in
1.0.0).    I do have the version of GTK that comes with 1.0.1

(Keep in mind, for testing this you must not have any AIM
windows on top - placing buddy list or ticker in a toolbar
makes the problem go away)

Seems to be fixed in 0.81

Thank you very much.

Under 0.80 still does not raise above native windows.

Another note: when raising of windows worked, did you have a
docked buddy list that was always on top? That keeps a GTK
window in topmost position, and raising the IM window works.

It still seems to be broken on Win 2000 SP4
GAIM 0.76 released with GTK rev. c

If somebody helped me with setting up a build environment,
I'd be glad to investigate...

This seems to work fine in 0.76cvs under W2KSP3.  It could
still be a GTK+ bug that only happens in certain situations.
 But it works for me.

As of Gaim .75 this is still an issue... if one window of
GAIM is active, others will raise properly, even above
non-gtk windows. However if no GAIM windows are currently
focused, windows do not get raised properly. In this case
the task bar sometimes blinks but sometimes doesn't.
Wouldn't be a big problem except that I miss incoming
messages when I have the sound turned off! I'd like to be
able to rely on visual notification.
