Dozens ? Name them, please. I've fixed the ones I've found (which was
just NM, really).
From the top of my head:
- NM
- Gajim (my original report) - doesn't disconnect on suspend, leaving me
"hanging" on the network and losing incoming messages for ~15 minutes
- probably many other IM clients will experience the issues as well
- KDE -
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=859227
- Dropbox - seems to be stuck and needs to be restarted
- probably anything third-party
I haven't done extensive testing. But if some high-profile applications didn't
make it, it's highly probable that a lot of low-profile applications are affected as
well.
It's great that you've tried to fix existing applications, really. I just argue
that if we made sure the legacy approach is supported for a while together with the new
approach, the users would benefit.
