If you decide to take a more active role in window positioning, please consider the behaviour of pane-based window managers (ratpoison, ion, fvwm-partition, larswm trswm, wmi, evilwm); where the concept of a position may not be honoured. I would hazard a suggestion that in today's open-source world, a broken window manager should be fixed, rather than compensated by applications... -- Jonathan Dowland http://jon.dowland.name/ _______________________________________________ Glade-devel maillist - [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://lists.ximian.com/mailman/listinfo/glade-devel
