    • Bug
    • Resolution: Duplicate
    • P4: Low
    • None
    • 5.3.0
    • QPA: X11/XCB
    • SUSE Linux Enterprise Server (SLES) 11; gcc 4.7.1; Metacity 2.28.1

    Description

      Old versions of metacity are adding "(as superuser)" to window title for Qt 5 applications. This is caused by libgtop not being able to get correct UID of the process and missing error handling on metacity side which is fixed now.

      How ever, something has changed since Qt 4 as libgtop is able to read UID of process there. Reproducible with all widget examples.
