take into account the appropriate list of windows when placing a new one (2.98 KB, patch)

Description Elijah Newren 2005-01-27 07:11:32 UTC 
place.c:751 uses the rule
  !w->minimized && w != window && window->workspace == w->workspace
to determine whether a window w should be taken into account when trying to
place window.  This takes into account some windows that shouldn't be: windows
that may be hidden due to a desktop being shown and windows that are minimized
implicitly because they have an ancestor that is.  The list could of course grow
in the future as well.  It also might neglect to account for some sticky windows
that should be accounted for (my fault--introduced by patch in bug 156182).

I will attach a patch in a minute that fixes this issue.

committed (with the obvious and simple fix to take into a account the trivial
conflict from the patch in bug 165377)
