xpos and ypos have no effect on windows procedure #1759

Closed brandy125 closed 6 months ago

brandy125 commented 6 months ago

I experience that on my installation the xpos and ypos keywords have no effect on the windows procedure.

System: Opensuse Tumbleweed with fvwm2 window manager

works ok for me. Apparently fvwm2 is not very much wxWidgets/GTK compatible (ggogled a bit). I bet the X window (gdl -X) works OK.

GillesDuvert commented 6 months ago

... but of course gdl -X does have its own defects (e.g. no window larger than the screen)

Exactly…and the fonts are…ugly.Thanks for testing!I need to figure out how to get it working in fvwm2.On 28 Feb 2024, at 15:42, Giloo @.***> wrote: ... but of course gdl -X does have its own defects (e.g. no window larger than the screen)

On my laptop running U22.04 I am on xfce4 and I have no problem in X11 or WsWidgets drivers to have the window, xpos=..., ypos=... exactly where they should be located !

GillesDuvert commented 6 months ago

shall we close this issue, and mention that fvwm2 (and probably fvwm, and probably all "old, but fast and reliable" WMs) may not be exactly, uh..., recommended?

brandy125 commented 6 months ago

Sure! Thanks!

Just for completeness.

I commented following lines in my .fvwm2rc and now the xpos and ypos keywords work fine and everything else is as it was before. I am happy!
