Bug#567608: metacity: GTK's window-state-event reports sticky state wrongly

[John Lindgren]

Package: metacity
Version: 1:2.28.0-3
Severity: normal


With a simple GTK test program, the window-state-event signal is broken
under Metacity when gtk_window_stick is called on startup.  On startup,
the signal is sent four times, alternately claiming that the window is
sticky and then it is not.  When I then set the test window not to be
sticky, the signal is sent twice, first claiming that the window is
sticky and then that it is not.  After this, toggling the sticky state
after this sends the correct signal.  Test program (stick.c) is
attached.

$ ./stick
Sticky? Yes.
Sticky? No.
Sticky? Yes.
Sticky? No.
<<< Right-click title bar, click "Only on This Workspace"
Sticky? Yes.
Sticky? No.
<<< Right-click title bar, click "Always on Visible Workspace"
Sticky? Yes.
<<< Right-click title bar, click "Only on This Workspace"
Sticky? No.

XFWM has a similar but not identical problem, #567607.
