Hello everybody,

the Compiz related patch has been merged into Xfce's master branch. The only remaining one is the patch providing an option to invert the scrolling direction (it's still possible to set this option through xfconf without the patch, the patch only provides a graphical checkbox in the applet's settings).

Since the scrolling inversion is not related to Compiz specifically, I'd propose to either rename the package to something like "xfce4-panel-inverted-workspace-scrolling" or just delete it.

Thus following question: Does anybody actually use the scrolling direction inversion option at all? If nobody does, I'd propose to delete this package.

That's weird, it works for me: https://i.imgur.com/Rotst2H.png Could you please rebuild the package and check if the patch gets correctly applied?

edit: Sorry, actually, the patch only affects the scrolling, not the preview geometry, as this has been fixed upstream already. But possibly not completely fixed... At least, it is not surprising that the problem occurs with both this package and the unpatched one.

This (xfce4-panel-compiz 4.18.4-1) doesn't seem to actually work?

I tried with Xfce 4.18.0-1 and both Compiz 0.9.14.2 and Compiz 0.8.18, and the workspaces still gets distorted in Compiz.

The following screnshots are in sequence; xfwm4 -> Compiz -> xfwm4

The behaviour is exactly as with xfce4-panel 4.18.4-1 (I posted an issue at https://gitlab.xfce.org/xfce/xfce4-panel/-/issues/789)

I apologize for the delay but I have to setup compiz again to show you. Will get back with more details in a few days.

@Tio: Not really, to be honest. :) Would you mind posting a screenshot of the problem?

Tio commented on 2021-09-29 21:06 (UTC)

This works well but it seems it cannot sync the workspaces between xfce and compiz. So you end up with windows/app launchers unable to hide/show based on the workspace you are on. You know what I mean?

Weird, I copied the deps and makedeps from the official xfce4-panel package, but you are right, it doesn't build without xfce4-dev-tools... Added, thanks for the hint!
