Package: fvwm Version: 1:2.5.17-1 Severity: minor The style "TileCascadePlacement" starts cascading windows, although there is enough space to tile them.
Details ------- (Window manager started with "fvwm -f /dev/null") 1. Start "xterm -geometry -0+0" (or just any other X client), this will put xterm in the upper right corner. 2. Start "xclock -geometry +0+0" (or any other X client with 1-pixel size increments), this will put xclock in the upper left corner. 3. Now adjust xclock's width to exactly fill the space between the left edge of the screen and the left side of the xterm. Check with xzoom that the two windows are exactly adjacent, neither overlapping nor leaving a gap. To be sure, also adjust xclock's height to fill the complete screen height (no pixel accuracy needed here). The screen should look like this now: +-------------------------------------+ |+---------------------++------------+| || || || || || xterm || || || || || || || || xclock |+------------+| || | | || | | || | | || | | || | | |+---------------------+ | +-------------------------------------+ 4. Close the xterm. 5. Start another xterm, this time without geometry parameter. Fvwm /should/ place it exactly where the xterm before was: In the upper right corner, because the xclock is placed and sized in a way to leave exactly the room needed for an xterm. /Instead/, Fvwm places the window somewhere near the upper left corner, as it would with CascadePlacement. With ExplainWindowPlacement, Fvwm then prints: ,---- | | [FVWM][__explain_placement]: placed new window 0x140000e 'xterm': | initial size 498x346 | desk 0 (current desk) | current page | position 96 192, placed by fvwm (normal placement) | placement method: TileCascade | (tile placement failed) | `---- 6. Close the xterm. 7. Decrease xclock's width by 1 pixel. 8. Start another xterm, also without geometry parameter. This time, Fvwm will correctly place it in the upper right corner, leaving a horizontal gap of 1 pixel between its right side and the right screen edge. Fvwm prints: ,---- | | [FVWM][__explain_placement]: placed new window 0x140000e 'xterm': | initial size 498x346 | desk 0 (current desk) | current page | position 781 0, placed by fvwm (normal placement) | placement method: TileCascade | `---- This happens with all possible values for EdgeThickness (0|1|2). -- System Information: Debian Release: testing/unstable APT prefers testing APT policy: (500, 'testing') Architecture: i386 (i686) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/bash Kernel: Linux 2.6.16-2-686 Locale: LANG=en_US, [EMAIL PROTECTED] (charmap=ISO-8859-15) Versions of packages fvwm depends on: ii debconf [debconf-2.0] 1.5.3 Debian configuration management sy ii gdk-imlib11 1.9.14-30 imaging library for use with gtk ii libc6 2.3.6.ds1-4 GNU C Library: Shared libraries ii libfontconfig1 2.3.2-7 generic font configuration library ii libfreetype6 2.2.1-2 FreeType 2 font engine, shared lib ii libfribidi0 0.10.7-3 Free Implementation of the Unicode ii libglib1.2 1.2.10-10.1 The GLib library of C routines ii libgtk1.2 1.2.10-18 The GIMP Toolkit set of widgets fo ii libice6 1:1.0.0-3 X11 Inter-Client Exchange library ii libncurses5 5.5-2 Shared libraries for terminal hand ii libpng12-0 1.2.8rel-5.2 PNG library - runtime ii libreadline5 5.1-7 GNU readline and history libraries ii librplay3 3.3.2-11 Shared libraries for the rplay net ii libsm6 1:1.0.1-2 X11 Session Management library ii libstroke0 0.5.1-5 mouse strokes library -- runtime f ii libx11-6 2:1.0.0-8 X11 client-side library ii libxext6 1:1.0.1-2 X11 miscellaneous extension librar ii libxft2 2.1.8.2-8 FreeType-based font drawing librar ii libxi6 1:1.0.1-3 X11 Input extension library ii libxinerama1 1:1.0.1-4.1 X11 Xinerama extension library ii libxpm4 1:3.5.5-2 X11 pixmap library ii libxrender1 1:0.9.1-3 X Rendering Extension client libra ii zlib1g 1:1.2.3-13 compression library - runtime Versions of packages fvwm recommends: ii fvwm-icons 2001.08.13-4 XPMs for fvwm -- debconf information: fvwm/upgrade/pre_2.5.8: false -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
