Re: FVWM: Meaning of the right-hand field of the popup window list

2013-01-15 Thread Thomas Funk
 Can anybody explain the meaning of the numbers of the last field.

http://www.fvwm.org/doc/unstable/commands/WindowList.html

The format of the geometry part is: desk(layer): x-geometry sticky,
where desk and layer are the corresponding numbers and sticky is empty
or a capital S. The geometry of iconified windows is shown in
parentheses.

Hope this helps.

Regards,
Thomas

It does, thank you Thomas. But how can a window have negative height and 
zero width?
I may say that the windows in the list shown with negative height are 
shaded. Does that

affect the geometry?

Because the geometry of a window includes its *position*.

 Yes, I understand that, but its size is definitely NOT its position.

The bug is that windowlist.c knows nothing of shaded windows when
reporting their geometry.

Will commit a fix for this in a bit unless someone else does it first.

 Ok, but that doesn't explain the negative height and zero width. Where does
 that come from?

The *actual* size of the window.
