Summary: imsettings causes window manager confusion in Xfce

Summary: imsettings causes window manager confusion in Xfce
Product: Fedora
Version: rawhide
Platform: All
OS/Version: Linux
Status: NEW
Severity: medium
Priority: medium
Component: imsettings

Classification: Fedora
If the imsettings and imsettings-xfce packages are installed xfwm4 settings are
confused and don't think xfwm4 is the window manager.
1. Install imsettings-xfce
2. yum groupinstall XFCE
3. login and choose Xfce as your desktop.
4. right click on the desktop
5. choose settings manager
6. choose either "Window Manager" or "Window Manager Tweaks".
7. You will get a message:
"These settings cannot work with your current window manager (imsetting-xim)"
The code in xfwm4 hasn't changed in years here. It does:
wm_name = gdk_x11_screen_get_window_manager_name (gdk_screen_get_default
());
if (g_ascii_strcasecmp (wm_name, "Xfwm4"))
{
xfce_err (_("These settings cannot work with your current window
manager (%s)"), wm_name);
return;
}
Is imsettings changing the gdk default window manager somehow?
Removing imsettings causes everything to work as normal.
