Okay good news is that these menus do come up, bad news is the bug is even more obscure. Here's my setup: I have two monitors. Gnome3 allows you to create multiple desktops to organize your windows, however this only affects your primary monitor. I actually kinda like this, since I have my web browser on my second monitor and I can "scroll through" apps on my primary monitor. In this case, I had pgAdmin on my second monitor and some random app, like Eclipse on the primary monitor. I selected "Create Database" on pgAdmin and apparently nothing happened. What it actually did it spawned the new dialog on my primary monitor BUT on another virtual desktop. I finally noticed it when I flipped over to that one.. I guess the bug can be fixed as: 1) Always spawn new child windows on the same monitor. or 2) In Gnome 3, create the window on the virtual desktop that's currently active.. Mike

We don't set any virtual desktop. I also use Gnome 3, and never saw incompatibilities between this window manager and pgAdmin3. > I guess the bug can be fixed as: > If the bug is in pgAdmin3... > 1) Always spawn new child windows on the same monitor. > or > 2) In Gnome 3, create the window on the virtual desktop that's > currently active.. > -- Guillaume http://www.postgresql.fr http://dalibo.com
