also some ARCHer complaint it in our forum
Will Udovich just told me to use a simple_strut program
but today, i found a magic way to solve this problem :)
simply add a sleep time before lanuch openbox
let xfce4-panel complete its initialization first
here's my .xinitrc
#!/bin/sh
#
# ~/.xinitrc
#
# Executed by startx (run your window manager from here)
#
feh --bg-scale Downloads/looks/gliding_into_a_cold_dawn.jpg
xfce-mcs-manager&
xfce4-panel&
conky
sleep 1
exec openbox
since an AMD Athlon XP2500+ in my machine, one second seems enough
if this method won't work, try larger sleep time
Good Luck
2006/4/23, Will Udovich <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>:
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!
