Bug#656762: Set the debug property on the fail whale so it can be moved with the mouse to a corner

[Carlos Alberto Lopez Perez]

Hi!


When I was using gnome3 some months ago this bug annoyed me more than a
couple of times, I was able to work-around it by making the annoying
whale window to be a normal desktop window, so when it pop-ups you can
move it to a corner with the mouse and save your data before logging out.

To make the whale be a movable desktop window you just have to set the
debug property.

Here is the patch that I applied to achieve this:


$ cat gnome-session-3.2.1/debian/patches/make-whale-be-debug.patch
--- a/gnome-session/gsm-manager.c
+++ b/gnome-session/gsm-manager.c
@@ -286,7 +286,7 @@
                 allow_logout = !_log_out_is_locked_down (manager);
         }

-        gsm_fail_whale_dialog_we_failed (FALSE,
+        gsm_fail_whale_dialog_we_failed (TRUE,
                                          allow_logout,
                                          want_extensions_ui);
 }
