thats what the lost windows menu does... when a widnow is lost selecting
it from this list will bring it back to the center of the screen.

well here's the problem. i CAN think of legitimate reasons to open a window
offscreen. wild example but:

1. open window off screen to the right.
2. over a period of 1-2 seconds slide the window on screen so it slides into
view

there is no reason a client window can't do this if it wants. it's legal.

the reason there is a lost windows list is if this ever happens and goes wrong
(window off screen). the correct thing to do here is for the app - if it is
going to remember location, remember location AND screen size at the time. if
when it starts next time screen size does not match - either forget the location
and allow auto-placement to do it's thing or adjust location based on old
resolution vs. new resolution.

the thing is - e has no idea WHY the app placed itself off screen. if it went
off screen - sits there for 3 seconds while the app starts up and such, then
slides on screen - that is legal. maybe it slides on screen ONCE a specific
event has occurred (like a mouse button pressed or key binding that the app
itself grabs). there are legitimate reasons i can think of - thus i refrained
from FORCING windows onto the screen.

as i said before - there is always the OPTION of forcing them already there -
locks and remember. set a lock to disallow the app to move itself AND then tell
e to remember the window and the locks and position. then e will take care of
location for the app - as the user has indicated they would like this to happen.

i'm taking a opt-in approach here, not opt-out as the cases where this happens
are rare (resolution changes - and how often do you change res?) :)

If you're app is requesting a specific position i'd say your asking the wm to 
leave your initial position alone. It would have to make the assumption that 
you're doing the right thing, so it should be the apps problem to deal with it. 
If you don't want to deal with it, don't save your position, leave it up to the 
wm to deal with that.

I believe he was actually asking for the wm to do the relocation.
Sounds like a good idea to me, as I can't think of any legitimate reason 
why an app would request an off-screen location. However, I haven't 
thought about it very long...
I would suggest moving it to the nearest on-screen location to the 
coordinates it requested.

Re: [E-devel] E17 crashes when moving for xinerama to a single screen

2005-08-15 Thread Simon TRENY
Indeed, eclair remembers the position of its windows at the shutdown. So 
the windows will  appears out of the screen if you change the 
resolution, or if you switch off xinerama.
So, what can I do to avoid this problem? Just check if the windows can 
fit in the screen, and if they can't, move them to (0,0)? Isn't it 
rather the work of the wm?

I'll do some tests later on and see if it's really a problem of
specific applications. One application which I remember to cause this
problem is QGIS (a QT based GIS software). Even after I get it back
from the lost windows, when I open some dialogs in it they also do not
appear and found in the lost windows menu.

I'll reply again when I have more info.

Thanks,

Ehud.

After updating from CVS, it now seems to work fine (doesn't crash).
However, when I switch xinerama off and open an application which was
opened on the secondary screen, it doesn't show up on screen. It does
show up on the 'lost windows' menu and when I click on it, it displays
correctly on screen.

Thanks,

Ehud.
