Description Magnus Therning 2006-06-09 11:09:12 UTC 
Please describe the problem:
The values returned by wnck_window_get_geometry() don't include the window decorations. It seems only the "contained window" is considered.

Steps to reproduce:
1. Compile the code in the attachment.
2. Place a terminal window at the top of the screen.
3. Run the compiled program


Actual results:
An X location of 19 is reported. (My window title bar is 19 pixels.)

Expected results:
An X location of 0.

Does this happen every time?
Yes.

Other information:
I'm attaching the program code ASAP.

Just to clarify a little more what I expect :-)

Taking the values returned from wnck_window_get_geometry() and passing them to wnck_window_set_geometry() (as implemented in bug 342899) should have no effect. This is not the case at the moment.

Testing this is requires a WM that supports _NET_MOVERESIZE_WINDOW, which Metacity doesn't at the moment. I've used Openbox for my experiments.

FWIW, this is also a problem in the pager. If you have a somewhat bigger pager (not the 30x20 workspaces in the default install), you can notice that e.g. maximized windows don't appear maximized in the pager, they're 1 or 2 pixels off.

Patch in bug 351055 should fix this.
