Steps to reproduce:
Expected result:
The priority ("Prio" column) is changed to the selected value.
Actual result:
The priority isn't changed.
Other task managers like mate-system-monitor are able to change the priority (and LXTask shows the updated value).
Check the related bug on Launchpad for more details: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/lxtask/+bug/1722901.
I can confirm this (on Fedora 27 x86_64). The attached patch should fix this.
Thank you very much. Looks good, pushed into GIT on your behalf.
