Hello list, For years I've been a fvwm user and I have a filemanager called Rodent, (http://xffm.org which evolved from the filemanager for xfce versions 4.0 and 4.2). Currently I'm working on a new release and I've come up with a problem which may be fvwm related.
On desktops 1-4, everything is fine, but on desktops 5-6 (out of 6 possible), gtk goes haywire trying to determine where to place the popup menu or the tooltip window. A negative value is returned for the window height. Gtk is using XGetWindowProperty() to retrieve the information and sometimes it works, sometimes it does not. So maybe there is a race condition with fvwm... Furthermore, the problem is non-existant if I link the program with gtk2 instead of gtk3. Any help on how to work around this problem will be greatly appreciated. Fvwm compatibility with Rodent filemanager is paramount. $fvwm --version fvwm 2.6.3 compiled on Dec 9 2012 at 06:30:53 with support for: ReadLine, XPM, PNG, SVG, Shape, XShm, SM, XRender, XCursor, XFT, NLS $uname -a Linux areli 3.4.11-tuxonice #4 SMP Sun Dec 16 13:06:43 CST 2012 i686 Intel(R) Core(TM)2 CPU T5600 @ 1.83GHz GenuineIntel GNU/Linux I'm not sure whether this is the appropriate list to post this query or the fvwm-workers should be used instead. If this is the case, please let me know and I will redirect the post. TIA
