Unable to resize XQuartz windows

[pfista]

Any programs running through XQuartz dont seem to be affected by slate resize commands.

+1 to figure out a workaround for this.

+1 Seems XQuartz windows are not affected by slate at all.

With .slate.js I can work around it. Install xdotool using MacPorts or Homebrew. I used Homebrew so it's in /usr/local/bin/xdotool.

function nudge_x11_workaround(win, x, y) {
  x *= 10;
  y *= 10;

  if (typeof win == "undefined") {
    // bug: X11 works differently somehow
    S.shell("/bin/bash -c 'export DISPLAY=:0;" +
      "/usr/local/bin/xdotool getactivewindow windowmove --relative -- " +
      x + " " + (y - 44) + "'");
  } else {
    if (x == 0) x = "+0";
    else if (x > 0) x = "+" + x + "%";
    else x = x + "%";
    if (y == 0) y = "+0";
    else if (y > 0) y = "+" + y + "%";
    else y = y + "%";
    win.doOperation(S.operation("nudge", { "x":x, "y":y }));
  }
};

S.bind("left:cmd;alt",  function(win) { nudge_x11_workaround(win, -1, 0); });
S.bind("right:cmd;alt", function(win) { nudge_x11_workaround(win,  1, 0); });
S.bind("up:cmd;alt",    function(win) { nudge_x11_workaround(win, 0, -1); });
S.bind("down:cmd;alt",  function(win) { nudge_x11_workaround(win, 0,  1); });
