It was user who explicitely requested SE gravity. So if user moves window into different corner he/she still expects window to follow it. If it goes off screen after resize - that's what user requested. If you want to empower user - add functionality to window manager to allow changing gravity for any open window. _______________________________________________ wm-spec-list mailing list wm-spec-list@gnome.org http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/wm-spec-list
