Hello, I've been trying to change the value of the "window gravity" property using xprop. According to the README file for xprop this is the place to ask.
xprop's manpage doesn't have very much about setting properties in general, and setting the values of WM_NORMAL_HINTS is particularly tricky because it is a structure. I have tried to access the particular field (is that the right word?) of the structure, such as: xprop -f WM_NORMAL_HINTS.win_gravity 32i -set WM_NORMAL_HINTS.win_gravity 1 but had no effect on the property's value. I've also tried the property type xprop -f WM_SIZE_HINTS 32i Which returned a comma separated list of integers, and so I tried to set my own list like below (cut to fit 70 letter column width): xprop -f WM_SIZE_HINTS 32i -set WM_SIZE_HINTS 532,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,1 but it did not appear to change the value, either. I've also tried to modify the WINGRAVITY type in hopes that might help, e.g.: xprop -f WINGRAVITY 32i -set WINGRAVITY 1 but still no luck. I have been reading the Xlib documentation and so I guess I could probably do it programmatically, but I don't think that is the best solution in the circumstances (also, I haven't done any C programming in ages.) If anyone could point me in the right direction it would be greatly appreciated. Or, is there a better way of doing it?
