“On Top” option Greyed?

Here is the tip, get libwnck package from the repository and install those instead of official SUSE ones.
This is for right click title bar in Beryl/Compiz, the official libwnck does not have On Top active and the other options that come in handy when using Beryl/Compiz such as Brightness Saturation and opacity controls and moving windows to other viewports.
Have a lot of fun!

any chance the altered libwnck from the repository will be packaged in a tarball with the other beryl package tarballs?

I’m confused, you say “get libwnck from the repository… instead of the official ones.”, but I don’t see libwnck in beryl’s repo. Did you mean distro ones instead of official ones?
Anyway, I’m glad to know there’s a way to fix the right-click-title-bar menus, but I don’t know where to go from there.
I’ve looked in beryl’s repo under trunk/ in emerald/ and beryl-core/ and I’ve looked in gnome’s repo, but only see the version my distro offers.
Could you provide a link to a forum topic or website or to the repo itself?

Oh, I mean from openSUSE build service X11:XGL repository. So this applies to SUSE only.

Gotcha, for gentoo users like myself, I had to uninstall libwnck (emerge -C libwnck) then reinstall libwnck from the gentoo xeffects overlay.
Trying to install the xeffects libwnck without the uninstall didn’t work for some reason, but I got the nifty right click menu working. Thanks for the heads up about it

Instead taking older libwnck library you can always apply a patch from it.

Works with 2.18.0 pretty good.

Thanks Marcin, will update, however 2.18 doesnt compile on SUSE Linux 10.1 and SLE 10.
