After much mucking around with deleting config files and things, I've
discovered that it wan't a 'lock' setting on any of my apps that was
causing my maximizing issue. It seems to be an issue when creating a
window, and maximizing it directly after.
I have exited E17, deleted my entire .e folder, and started again. Then,
without *any* modification at all, I've run this code:
---
#!/usr/bin/perl
use Gtk2 -init;
sub startup {
$window = Gtk2::Window->new;
$window->signal_connect( destroy => sub { Gtk2->main_quit; } );
$window->set_border_width(10);
my $button = Gtk2::Button->new("Hello World");
$window->add($button);
$button->show;
$window->show;
$window->maximize;
}
{
startup;
Gtk2->main;
}
---
This demonstrates my problem. For me, the app starts with a small window
in the top-left corner of the screen. The button thinks it's parent has
been maximized, and only a very small portion of it is visible. At this
point, the windows can't be resized ALT middle-click dragging ... as if
it's already maximized. Clicking the maximize / restore button ( I'm not
sure which one it's representing in this state ) makes all the window
buttons ( ie minimize, restore, close ) disappear, and gives slight
graphical corruption along the bottom & right edges of the window. At
this point, ALT middle-click dragging can be used to resize the window,
and once you make an adjustment, the window buttons return, and the
window behaves normally.
However, I've found that if I modify the above code so that the
$window->maximize line is immediately *before* the $window->show line,
everything works perfectly. I will of course change all my code to
maximize first and show later.
I have also seen behaviour like this ( show window first, then maximize
) coming from other apps, particularly things like visualisation plugins
for xmms, xine, and other cool graphical things.
