Seems to depend on your window manager. I don't know, why gnome would reset it back to zero. Fluxbox/Openbox don't do it and allow to set negative values (and so does Windows). All that Vim does is calling gtk_window_move() with the new x and y values and the documentation at http://developer.gnome.org/gtk/stable/ does not mention, that negative values are forbidden. Might be still some unwanted effect in the way vim uses the gtk-toolkit. regards, Christian -- You received this message from the "vim_dev" maillist. Do not top-post!
