Hi all,
I posted a few days ago about the Psi instant messenger not working properly
on the non-primary Xinerama screen.
It turns out this is a Qt bug and affects all Qt programs, and although it was
supposed to be fixed back in 2007 it still seems to be affecting me.
I did some digging around, and xprop shows the problem: (in this case it's the
help/about dialog window in "qtconfig" that isn't appearing)
Primary screen:
WM_NORMAL_HINTS(WM_SIZE_HINTS):
user specified size: 388 by 143
program specified size: 388 by 143
program specified minimum size: 388 by 143
program specified maximum size: 388 by 143
window gravity: NorthWest
Secondary screen:
WM_NORMAL_HINTS(WM_SIZE_HINTS):
user specified size: 0 by 156
program specified size: 0 by 156
program specified minimum size: 0 by 156
program specified maximum size: 0 by 156
window gravity: NorthWest
It seems that Qt is miscalculating the correct width and creating a window too
skinny to be seen. Since Awesome has some facilities to prevent windows from
being created off-screen, is there any way you can force a window with a zero
dimension to be a set size?
Thanks,
Adam.
