Description Anand 2002-05-31 13:52:37 UTC 
I have the 30th sources from CVS. My Control center ver is 1.99.10.

I see this strange behaviour of terminals reducing in size, when changing 
from one gtk theme to another. The change in size is very minimal. This 
size reduction gets more noticeable when one keeps changing the themes in 
quick succession.

Steps:
1) Keep a couple of gnome terminals open.
2) Invoke gnome-theme-properties capplet (or Applications -> Desktop 
Preferences -> Theme).
3) Keep changing the theme in quick succession, by clicking on the 
the 'Default', 'Metal' and 'Redmond95' theme names.
4) A clear reduction in the terminals' size can be observed.

Not a theme problem.

Need to catch style_set and reset the geometry hints there.
Comment 4 Kjartan Maraas 2005-01-05 14:12:39 UTC 
This seems to be the case still when cycling through all themes installed on FC3.

Is this still reproducible on svn trunk?
Comment 7 Simon van der Linden 2009-01-11 17:15:36 UTC 
Yes. But that's not a bug.

When switching themes, the style of controls may change, and lead to a small difference in size, which forces windows to be resized.
