app and wm interaction -ESPECIALLY when the app goes through many layers of

There are two problems:
1) Enlightenment does not remember windows settings correctly. At least it doesn't work with Eclipse's dialogues.
I don't quite buy that. The window size is a property of the window. E doesn't remember that but determines it by reading the window attributes. This happens every time a window is mapped, and the WM is not supposed to remember anything from the last time it was mapped. I'd suggest either a bug or failure to ignore silly values in the window size hints or ConfigureRequest handling.
2) Eclipse does not call the appropriate pack() and setSize() routines. I know this is a bug in Eclipse because I write applications using SWT (Eclipse's tool kit) and dialog sizes are OK only if the correct methods are called.
/it's a royal pita :( but there are many badly written x programs and toolkits
too. many wm's have "hacks" where they disobey icccm just to make certain broken
apps work - but these "breaks" then may impact other properly written apps
later... it's a real pain./
It's a pain and I hate been forced to use GNOME because I need to work Eclipse. Enlightenment is faster and cleaner, but I can't use it for the time being.
I would be happy to fix this problem, but I'd like a test case that doesn't look like I would need a week to get it installed :)
The installation of Eclipse is easier that it looks like. Download and extract thats it :-) Have you a tip where to search for the bug in e?
Thank Kai
