Bug#543799: forward bug reports

tag 543799 wontfix
thanks

Hey,

According to upstream, Mutter is not supposed to be used with that kind
of setup, since it would be fairly complex to solve this specific
problem in Mutter itself - they are focusing on having it provide a
foundation for environments such as GNOME Shell and Moblin to build upon
(GNOME Shell being my personal motivation to work on this). This bug
will be fixed in GNOME Shell[0], but not in mutter itself.

Possible ways of having this solved for your use case (I believe it to
be running GNOME2 with no nautilus):

      * Create a new mutter plugin that does things the way you want (as
        opposed to using the default one)
      * Run some kind of tool to create a 'desktop window', like
        nautilus does

You can also run GNOME Shell instead of gnome-panel, if you feel like
tasting the future =).

Thanks,
