The right place is the wm-spec list (see http://www.freedesktop.org/wiki/Standards_2fwm_2dspec). > I'm trying to wrap my head around _NET_WM_STRUT_PARTIAL when it applies > to corner panels (i.e., does not extend from edge to edge, but only > occupies a corner).

Handling placement in a non-rectangular area is not exactly trivial. For the last case, it could perhaps help to configure Kicker to have geometry that you like. > Given the following > (hypothetical) numbers, what should _NET_WM_STRUT_PARTIAL look like? > Screen: 1024x768 > Deskbar: 256x512 ... > And yes, the real code detects both the actual size of the screen and the > actual size of the deskbar; I just want to use real numbers for now to > understand the concept. > Thanks, A corner panel should be considered to be at one edge and spanning some length along it. So for your deskbar in the topright corner it should be either top=512, top_start_x=768, top_end_x=1023 or right=256,right_start_y=0,right_end_y=255 (the rest being 0). -- Lubos Lunak KDE developer --------------------------------------------------------------------- SuSE CR, s.r.o. e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] , [EMAIL PROTECTED] Drahobejlova 27 tel: +420 2 9654 2373 190 00 Praha 9 fax: +420 2 9654 2374 Czech Republic http://www.suse.cz/ _______________________________________________ wm-spec-list mailing list wm-spec-list@gnome.org http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/wm-spec-list
