RHBA-2012:0994 - metacity bug fix update
Synopsis
metacity bug fix update
Type/Severity
Bug Fix Advisory (none)
Topic
Updated metacity packages that fix one bug are now available for Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6.
Description
Metacity is a window manager that integrates with the GNOME desktop.
This update fixes the following bug:
- Previously, password dialog boxes did not automatically have the focus after they were opened and could remain covered by a full-screen window. With this update, password dialog boxes are automatically given the focus so that they are raised above full-screen windows, and the problem no longer occurs. (BZ#802916)
All users of metacity are advised to upgrade to these updated packages, which fix this bug.
