Rezza and I had this discussion a few weeks ago. For him, his windows
saw the panel just fine and it worked. I was using pekwm and this did
not happen. I then found this nice little program which will set the
"strut" around your desktop as to where windows will minimize or
maximize to.
Code:
#include <stdio.h>
#include <X11/Xlib.h>
#include <X11/Xutil.h>
#include <X11/Xatom.h>
#define LEFT 30
#define RIGHT 30
#define TOP 30
#define BOTTOM 30
int main(int argc, char **argv)
{
Display *dpy;
Window win;
XEvent event;
unsigned long strut[4];
XWMHints xwmh = { (InputHint|StateHint), False, IconicState, 0, 0, 0,
0, 0, 0, };
if ((dpy = XOpenDisplay(NULL)) == NULL) {
fprintf(stderr, "%s: can't open %s\en", argv[0], XDisplayName(NULL));
exit(1);
}
win = XCreateSimpleWindow(dpy, DefaultRootWindow(dpy),
0, 0, 1, 1, 0, 0, 0);
XSetWMHints(dpy, win, &xwmh);
XMapWindow(dpy, win);
strut[0] = LEFT;
strut[1] = RIGHT;
strut[2] = TOP;
strut[3] = BOTTOM;
XChangeProperty (dpy, win, XInternAtom(dpy, "_NET_WM_STRUT", False),
XA_CARDINAL, 32, PropModeReplace, (unsigned char *) strut, 4);
while (1) {
XNextEvent(dpy, &event);
}
}
To Compile:
gcc -L/usr/X11R6/lib -lX11 -o simple_strut simple_strut.c
Adjust the values which are set to 30 for all borders by default. I set
left and right to zero, and then changed top and bottom to accommodate
my panel. It may take a few tries to get things just right. Once the
program has compiled, run it in the background and your windows should
maximize right where you want them to. Good luck!
