Hi, since some time (1-2 years) I see something that let me worry if there was some change in code or how to prevent it.
Applications recording their windows size does so in a wrong way. So when they restart and set the window size as previously recorded, the window gets too small and off placed be the measurements of the window decorations. For me that is annoying and I use devilspie to mitigate most of that problems. It started with qtox years ago then psi some months later and now it is all around the desktop including firefox or virtualbox. The later one is even that broken that the desktop inside virtualbox adapts to the outside, then the outside adapts again (leaving scrollbars) and then the inner desktop adapts again and so on. The only way out of that is to prevent the window from resizing at all (using fullscreen). I believe, all this troubles are caused by GTK and gnome and their idiotic appearance to include the decorations inside the application window. But how can I prevent the applications from getting wrong window size or how to fix that inside of fvwm. I use fvwm3 but had that with fvwm2 too.
