Patch

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux x86_64; en-US; rv:1.9.0.5) Gecko/2008121300 SUSE/3.0.5-1.3 Firefox/3.0.5

When applying the patch from http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=398552, the menu opens partially out of screen, which is need immediately corrected, making the menu "jump".
The problem is that the code doesn't catch the proper size-allocate signals.
Also had to rearrange the code a bit for the signals to actually be sent *before* g-m-m opens the first time.

The attached patch opens the menu properly. There's still one issue left though, and that is that the tiles do not grow their height according to how much text there is.

Reproducible: Always

Do you want to commit this to git.gnome.org? :)
Comment 2 Magnus Boman 2009-04-22 20:57:23 UTC 
The fix for the issue I tried to solve is only partial so not sure if we should commit. Unless it perhaps solves the issue where the menu always opens, and stays, outside the screen?

Sorry for the spam. I'm mass-closing gnome-main-menu/slab bugs: gnome-main-menu has gone unmaintained upstream because it's not usable in GNOME 3, and is not shipped since 12.1. I don't expect any maintenance updates for it in 11.4 either.
