Maximized windows with vertical tint2 panel not working correctly

[GoogleCodeExporter]

I changed the tint2 panel to be displayed vertical. Using Metacity and/or 
Openbox, a maximized window will always be behind or covering tint2 - never 
only maximize to the panel and then stop.

I have set panel_layer = top and strut_policy = follow size, but the windows 
will always take the full screen instead of leaving tint2 alone. This actually 
does not happen if displayed horizontal.

Any ideas?

Just tried openbox, but here it works with current svn revision.
1. What version do you use?
2. Do you maybe have two monitors in use?
3. Do you really absolutely surely have 'strut_policy = follow_size'

1. 3.4.11.1
2. No, just one monitor
3. I triple-checked: panel_layer = top, strut_policy = follow_size

I got the current git version of openbox, but cannot compile it (it throws 
multiple errors while running make - I'm not experienced enough in compiling 
software via configure-make-makeinstall to handle this right now). So if it 
comes down to using the current version 3.4.11.2 of openbox, I guess I have to 
live with it.

I meant the tint2 version svn revision not openbox ;)

can you post your whole tint2rc?

tint2 0.11 svn 603.1. I'll attach the tint2rc file (which is only slightly 
customized to - well - go vertical) and a screenshot. You'll see that there is 
room for the panel - but on the wrong side.

I guess there is an error in the config file. But I just can't figure it out.

your fault is in panel_position. the syntax is:
panel_position = vertical_position horizontal_position orientation

You have used:
panel_position = horizontal_position vertical_position orientation

change it to:
panel_position = center left vertical

Yes, that fixed the problem (of course). Jeez, I went through the config syntax 
two times and never stumbled upon this. Thanks! btw: Awesome piece of code.
