Fvwm does not directly inform the > application of its size. X does that when the window is resized. I am running the latest stable fvwm release, 2.4.8, and am not seeing the above problem. However I am seeing some other things. I am also using Qt 3.0.3 instead of Qt 2.3.0... > It seems that qt somehow loses track of its own size.

It appears as though window managers are not checking for whether the base size property has changed until after the user releases the mouse button from the window frame. Resizing once more sets the window size correctly with the new base size. I wonder whether the limitation lies in the X event reporting system. But there is another problem. When I use the code posted to this thread with fvwm and grab the frame and move the mouse around in circles quickly, I release the mouse on the window when it looks like this: +-------------------+ | The Menu Bar | +---+---+---+---+---+ | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | +---+---+---+---+---+ | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | +---+---+---+---+---+ | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | +---+---+---+---+---+ | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | +---+---+---+---+---+ | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | +---+---+---+---+---+ and end up with a window that looks like this: +---------------------------+ | The Menu Bar | +---+---+---+---+---+---+---+ | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | +---+---+---+---+---+---+---+ | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | +---+---+---+---+---+---+---+ which I find really strange. -- Best Regards, Neil -- Visit the official FVWM web page at <URL:http://www.fvwm.org/>.
