Gnome-do pops up below last opened window [SOLVED]

I am using KDE 4.5.1 with arch. Recently, I had problems while installing bespin-svn package from AUR. I couldn't change the Widget style under System Setting > Common Appearance and Behavior > Style > Application tab > Widget style. I wanted to change it back to Plastique because Bespin did not work right. I guess my mistake was that I deleted besptin-svn package before I changed Widget style.
I was not able to open Style window in System Setting. Whenever I try, it opened and closed right away. So, I decided to delete ~/.kde4 folder. And it bring me the default environment. Now I am trying to configure KDE as it was. After half day of struggling, I got almost of the environment.back.
The problem comes when I press CTRL-SUPER-space to popup gnome-do. It is always blocked by last opened window. I had the problem when I stall gnome-do first time. Somehow I figured out. But I do not have long memory. I forgot the howto. I am sure this can be solved by changing configuration in KDE System Setting since it happen after I remove ~/.kde4 folder.
I made a screen cast in Youtube. This shows what problem I have now.

Safari will not load the home page when I open it. It defaults to last open window. I set preferences to go to home page but Safari decides otherwise.

Mac Mini - Yosemite 10.10.1 The home page in 'Safari Preferences > General > Home Page' will not load when I start the computer (automatic log-in). Safari is ticked to open at log-in. It opens with the last previous web page displayed prior to shutting down the computer.
I have looked in 'System Preferences' > General but did not find anything relevant. Ditto 'Security' and 'Privacy'

From the Safari menu bar, select
Safari ▹ Preferences... ▹ Extensions
Turn all extensions OFF and test. If the problem is resolved, turn extensions back ON and then disable them one or a few at a time until you find the culprit.

How do I change the default on shutting down Lion to NOT relaunch open windows?

How do I change the default on shutting down Lion to NOT relaunch open windows? And how can I have Safari always open in full screen mode? I have to set it every time I open Safari.

The feature you are talking about in System Preferences does work and is not related in any way to the one at startup.
One restores the windows of an application you've quit, the other reopens all windows you had open at shutdown or restart.
Why should "I" have to constantly turn off a checkbox when I shutdown the system?
You don' t have to. Did you have a look at my post just above yours? With a double click you can have your restart without opening the last open windows. That's less than clicking the apple icon and selecting "restart" or "shut down" and then clicking "Restart" or "Shutdown" again.

How to make Finder automatically go to the foremost open window?

I hope I'm explaining this clearly.
Suddenly, when I click on the Finder from the Dock, it does not go to the last open window. I have to go to the Windows menu and select it, or click and wait on the Finder icon in the dock for it to open. I usually have a lot of apps open so when I go to Finder it's to do some file management - and the extra step of having to bring the last open window to the forefront is annoying me!
Does anyone know how to make the Finder automatically come to the forefront (with the windows) from click in the Dock? I swear my mac always did that before but now it's stopped!

can anyone help me here?

Working window disappears behind other open windows at random times.

The window I'm working on keeps popping back behind other open windows at random times (not related to the program I'm using). Is anyone else experiencing this after upgrading to Mavericks?

This is what happens for one of the active corners for Exposé, if ("all windows") is the upper left corner. Take a look at "System preferences" , Dashboard & Exposé.

GNOME in failsafe and unable to open new windows

Hello,
Since yesterday, I have many crash in GNOME Shell. The display goes in a kind of failsafe mode (very simple graphics and effects) after some time and I am quickly enable to open new windows after the start of gdm.
I'd have posted a screenshot but I'm not able to do it.
When I try to open a new window in a terminal it fails, seems like an error with the display
$ epiphany
No protocol specified
Failed to parse arguments: Cannot open display:
$ echo $DISPLAY
:0
$ import MyScreenshot.png
No protocol specified
import: unable to open X server `:0' @ error/import.c/ImportImageCommand/368.
I have the Xorg or opened windows process which take way too much CPU than the usual. For example Firefox easily blocks during a few minutes and I have errors related to a script in an extension which does not run.
Here is my ~/.xsession-errors file
I have not made any configuration change lately except the usual updates. I have to restart GDM each time it happens.
Any idea what is causing that ?
Thank you

How to open a pop up in a newly opened window

Hi,
I have a requirement where, upon a button click in Main.jsff page I am opening a PDF file in a new window in the same browser. As soon as the PDF file is opened in the new window I need to display a popup which has to come on top of the PDF window and blur the PDF file window.
Currently I am using the below javaScript for doing this.
FacesContext ctx = FacesContext.getCurrentInstance();
ExtendedRenderKitService erks = org.apache.myfaces.trinidad.util.Service.getRenderKitService(ctx, ExtendedRenderKitService.class);;
String script = "window.open('" + urlString + "', '', 'location=0, status=0, resizable=1, scrollbars=1');";
erks.addScript(ctx, script);
String toSetFocus = "window.focus()";
erks.addScript(ctx, toSetFocus);
getP2().show(hints);But the pop up is not opening on the pdf window. Its opening on the Main.jsff window. Can anyone let me know the right way to implement this ?
I am using jdev version 11.1.2.0.0
Thanks in advance,
Kavitha

this is the javascript i used to do this
function showDoc(URL, aWinName, title) {
     var wOpen;
     var sOptions;
     var popupWindowWidth = 725;
     var popupWindowheight = 480;
     sOptions = 'status=no,menubar=no,scrollbars=yes,toolbar=no';
     sOptions = sOptions + ',width=' + (popupWindowWidth).toString();
     sOptions = sOptions + ',height=' + (popupWindowheight).toString();
     sOptions = sOptions + ',screenX=0,screenY=0,left=0,top=0';
     globalHTML = "<html><head><title>"+title+"</title><meta charset=\"utf-8\"></head>"
               + "<frameset rows='100%,*'><frame src='" + URL + "'></frame>"
               + "</frameset></html>";
     wOpen = window.open("javascript:opener.globalHTML", aWinName, sOptions);
     wOpen.focus();
     wOpen.moveTo((screen.availWidth - popupWindowWidth) / 2,
               (screen.availHeight - popupWindowheight) / 2);
     return wOpen;
}

I am using iphoto 6.0.6 and after opening the application it drops below the dock. I can see it when I use expose to reveal all open windows but once selected it drops below the dock.

I am using iphoto 6.0.6 and after opening the application it drops below the dock. I can see it when I use expose to reveal all open windows but once selected it drops below the dock.

Try trash the com.apple.iPhoto.plist file from the HD/Users/ Your Name / library / preferences folder.
(On 10.7: Hold the option (or alt) key while clicking on the Go menu in Finder to access the User Library)
(Remember you'll need to reset your User options afterwards. These include minor settings like the window colour and so on. Note: If you've moved your library you'll need to point iPhoto at it again.)
What's the plist file?
For new users: Every application on your Mac has an accompanying plist file. It records certain User choices. For instance, in your favourite Word Processor it remembers your choice of Default Font, on your Web Browser is remembers things like your choice of Home Page. It even recalls what windows you had open last if your app allows you to pick up from where you left off last. The iPhoto plist file remembers things like the location of the Library, your choice of background colour, whether you are running a Referenced or Managed Library, what preferences you have for autosplitting events and so on. Trashing the plist file forces the app to generate a new one on the next launch, and this restores things to the Factory Defaults. Hence, if you've changed any of these things you'll need to reset them. If you haven't, then no bother. Trashing the plist file is Mac troubleshooting 101.

[SOLVED] Gnome doesn't apply the theme to new opened windows

Hi,
I'm using Gnome as desktop environment, but encountered a really annoying issue .
I want to change the theme and therefore do the following "Right click on desktop -> "Change desktop background" -> Theme -> "Darklooks". All opened windows (as well as the panels) get now dark, just as expected. But as soon as I open up a new windows (or add something to a panel) it doesn't get affected by the theme, but it is display with the standard bright grey. After changing the theme again (I have to choose another first, and then go back to "Darklooks") all "new" windows get dark also.
As I'm not happy with this situation I ask you for help? What is wrong with my Gnome?

When I do a search, with MSN as my homepage, it pops up in a new window not a tab like it used to. MSN says it is Firefox related. How do I fix this? I have the option selected to open new windows in tabs instead and it still won't work.

<blockquote>Locking duplicate thread.<br>
Please continue here: [/questions/832115]</blockquote><br>
I use Firefox 4.0.1 and have MSN set as my homepage. Recently, even with the option set to make windows open in tabs instead, if I do searches on the MSN page, the results pop up in a new window. I contacted MSN and they said it is something to do with Firefox. It didn't use to do this, even after initially upgraded to 4.0.1, but started about a week ago and even with me doing nothing to my computer. How do I get this to stop and go back to new tabs instead?
It does not do this using Google, AOL, Yahoo, or another other search, just MSN/Bing.

That's strange. It's possible that you are having a problem with some Firefox add-on that is changing your Firefox's normal behavior. Have you tried disabling all add-ons (just to check), to see if Firefox goes back to normal? Also have you tried uninstalling & re-installing flash? If you need help un-installing Flash see http://helpx.adobe.com/flash-player/kb/uninstall-flash-player-windows.html. You also could try safe mode. See https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/troubleshoot-firefox-issues-using-safe-mode?redirectlocale=en-US&redirectslug=Safe+Mode .

Tabs and window restore only restored one of many open windows from last session. I hate this!!

Tab and window restoration has FAILED after version 13.01 installation! Out of 7 windows open with multiple tabs, only ONE BROWSER WINDOW OPENED with NO reference to what happened to the normal session that had been in the previous version of FF. I've read about this and I DON'T LIKE IT. It is reverse engineering. WHY would you scrap someone's research for the sake of making your browser open more quickly? DAMMIT MAN I don't have time to study a browser. I may not endure this version! I don't see a way out of this ff trap, other than go to previous version which is always a bitch. Dammit!

You need to use "Firefox/File > Exit" (Mac: "Firefox > Quit"; Linux: "File > Quit") to close Firefox if you are currently doing that by clicking the close X on the title bar to close Firefox with all open windows at once. Otherwise only the last closed window will be restored. If this did happen then check History > Recently Closed Windows to see if any are listed (default is 3).

My left shift key on Macbook Pro Retina (15") is behaving like the F11 key (show/hide open windows). The key behaves the same for the laptop keyboard and for an external Apple keyboard? This just started in last week after 6 months of use

My left shift key on Macbook Pro Retina (15") is behaving like the F11 key (show/hide open windows).
The left shift key behaves the same on the laptop keyboard and on an external Apple keyboard.
This just started in last week after 6 months of use. The right shift key and other keys on the keyboard all appear to work correctly.
Suggestions greatly appreciated.

I have a solution to this issue now after a discussion with Apple Support. Some where in the last few weeks, there was a change in the key that would do a Show Desktop under the Mission Control settings in the System Preferences. Even though the key sequence that was shown for the Show Desktop setting did not include the Left SHift key, by changing this first to having no key sequence and applying that and then changing it back to the F11 key, the Left SHift key issue that I was having has cleared up.
A second issue that was uncovered was that the SSD had some issues (uncovered when I ran Disk Utility using the Repair Disk key). I had to restart and use the Disk Utility through the Command R sequence to get to the stand alone Disk Utility. The SSD appears to be running better as a result as well.
Hope that this is of use to someone else in the future.

Newly opened windows can trash history and groups if closed last

If I have FF set up to remember last opened tabs and groups, and I open a new window (or a link opens in a new window), then if I don't see that "new" window and close my main one, all my tabs and groups are lost.
In fact the browser will remember just that link, and the main window closed before (with all the tabs, groups, application tabs) gets lost.
This is not just frustrating, but a real design and concept flaw!

Look on your desktop. Is there a folder called '''Old Firefox?'''
These can't get your data back, but will help in the future.
These add-ons can be a great help by backing up and restoring Firefox
'''[https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/febe/ FEBE (Firefox Environment Backup Extension)]''' {web link}
FEBE allows you to quickly and easily backup your
Firefox extensions, history, passwords, and more.
In fact, it goes beyond just backing up -- It will actually rebuild
your saved files individually into installable .xpi files.
It will also make backup of files that you choose.
