While this is a wildly debated bug, I wonder where the real problem lies... - Why does one want to resize a window? rather, why should it be resized? - How often is the window requiring a resize? - What are the applications which cause this problem? - Is this an application or a window manager or a theme problem ? I'v never found the need to resize firefox & evolution [always maximized] or the various prefs dialogue windows[which have the right size]. Rarely resize certain windows - eg: nautilus,xchat,liferea,terminal. These remember the last size I had set them to and they open in the same size[seems to be the case with almost every application in the default install]. Which I rarely adjust more than once. The most common action I do with them is maximize. Very often need to resize Inkscape,GIMP windows which is mostly to zoom-in to see more of the content. [Inkscape does remember the window size for each image separately, but often opens up to an odd default size] Now again, why are people resizing windows? Shouldnt it be fixed in the applications to show the content without requiring a resize? -- Cheers, Vish _______________________________________________ Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~ayatana Post to : [email protected] Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~ayatana More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
