[Bug 1108348] Re: Unity does nothing with URGENT window flag

 

Andrea, the URGENT flag still doesn't work in Ubuntu 14.04 LTS Unity. I
haven't upgraded to 14.10 yet

Title:
  Unity does nothing with URGENT window flag

Status in Unity:
  New
Status in unity package in Ubuntu:
  New

Bug description:
  Under other window managers, I've become quite used to terminal bells
  raising the URGENT flag and then alerting the window manager that I
  need to pay attention to something. Unity appears to ignore the URGENT
  flag.

  To test:
  1. open any terminal. (I've tried both urxvt and gnome-terminal.)
  2. run "sleep 2; echo ^V^G"
  3. quickly change desktops away to another desktop
  4. note that nothing happens after two seconds

  Unity should indicate to the user which window has set the URGENT
  flag. Unity should indicate to the user on which desktop the URGENT
  flag has been raised. Unity should provide a keyboard shortcut to
  switch desktop and focus to the window with the URGENT flag. (This may
  or may not exist already -- I just haven't found it.)

  Thanks
