Thanks for the proposal. It's in fact awful.placement.no_offscreen(c) what's causing it. But without this GVim opens above my wibox, which also isn't that nice.

See xterm example here It's an idea, I think I'll try something like that. > Also the last obvious question. Are you ignoring size hints for gvim (or > all windows?). See size_hints_honor = false in your awful.rules.rules. There is nothing like that in my rules-table, so if it isn't standard I don't think I ignore it (correct thought?). Since the out-of-screen-part is the numbers of the lines I assumed that might be the cause (although I don't see why). Thanks for the advices. I'll try some of them. However, I'm still interested to solve that problem itself because this behavior doesn't seem logical to me. Manuel -- To unsubscribe, send mail to [email protected].
