Hello, I am trying to force an application to have a certain size but it does not work as expected yet: the application window resize well but not it's content.
The application I try to resize is VirtualBox. I want it to run in a kiosk like mode (full-screen) for a project named 'Cube' : https://github.com/jonosterman/cube/blob/master/cube-client-wm/src/main/java/ch/admin/vbs/cube/client/wm/ui/x/imp/XWindowManager2.java (perhaps some parts are commented right now since I'm still testing some stuff) There is no other window manager running in the background. What append is: - I start VirtualBox - Once I detect a VirtualBox Window (based on its title), I re-parent it into another window (which is used to display a 5-pixels border around the application's window) -> line 135 - and resize it to fullscreen (using XMoveResizeWindow) - I then get resizeRequest event (with smaller size) that I ignore (is that wrong?) -> line 315 - then ConfigureNotify event where I check if it is the correct size. If not, I resize it again. -> line 389 - then ResizeRequest and Configuration again (VirtualBox actually display a welcome screen before showing the application) At the end the application's window has got the desired dimension but not its content. Something odd (at least for me): when it is completely started, resizing (XResizeWindow) it at the 'fullscreen size' again does nothing, but resizing it to another size or moving it one pixel away, trigger its content resize. I really need help, because I already tried so much way to trick it (without success) and actually want to solve the problem in a clean way (It works well under metacity/gnome, I check there code, but did not find why).
