invalidate work areas on screen size update (1.42 KB, patch)

Description Fabio Gomes 2003-07-11 19:12:14 UTC 
I am using XD2 version of Metacity under 800x600. 

When I switch to a higher resolution (1024x768) with XRANDR, the allowed
window placement region and the maximized size is still 800x60 and Metacity
does not allow me to move a window outside the 800x600 area. When I
maximize a window, it fills the same 800x600 area.

If I kill -HUP metacity, it recognizes the new root screen size. Good boy.

Regards,

Fabio Gomes

If you add, delete, or move a panel to a different screen edge after
the switch, does that fix it for you?
Comment 2 Fabio Gomes 2003-07-12 01:49:44 UTC 
Yes. Moving a panel to a different screen edge also makes Metacity see
the changes.
Comment 3 Rob Adams 2003-07-12 04:04:03 UTC 
OK we just need to invalidate the work areas when the screen size
changes.  Shouldn't be too hard to fix.
