Hi all, I run blackbox 0.70.0 (gentoo) with the slit paced in the top left, and gkrellm-2.2.4. In addition to these I run a small taskbar like app I wrote myself that is designed to wait for gkrellm to map it's window before mapping its own window, so that it appears below it in the slit. I must confess that the problem very likely lies in my program, but I have no idea why. When I start X for the first time since a reboot, or when I start it under heavy load, gkrellm appears vertically centered in a window that is too short for it, i.e. the top and bottom couple of lines of pixels are cut off. Changing the theme, plugin layout or any other thing that causes gkrellm to resize itself corrects this problem. Likewise the problem only seems to occur when my taskbar application starts immediately after gkrellm appears. Sometimes the taskbar application takes a while to start (e.g. when updatedb is running) in which case the slit simply resizes itself and places my app below gkrellm correctly. Its almost as if the slit is not giving gkrellm enough space. And the really curious thing is that the amount of space short seems to be exactly the height of my taskbar app.
Not sure if this is a bug in my code or in blackbox. Should my app be informing blackbox about it's size when it starts or resizes itself? If so, how? I use XResizeWindow frequently, and was under the impression that this is sufficient to resize a window, as the window manager would subsequently accept or decline the request as it saw fit.
