I was following the thread about the emacs resizing, and remembered something that I've been having problems with for a while now.
A couple years ago, I ponied up the cash for Applixware Office, and 3 or 4 Linux distros and uncountable window manager changes later I'm still using it -- it works for all my needs. HOWEVER, I noticed once I started using blackbox a few months ago that there's an odd behavior when I resize windows from the various Applix applications. First off -- when it loads, it comes in at a default size -- from what I can tell on my screen, it's about 750 px tall, maybe 400 px wide. However, when I try to resize it, it jumps to some unknown maximum size -- I think around 1280x1024; all I know for certain is it's bigger than my 1024x768 desktop -- and I am unable to size it back down. As a result, I've stopped even trying to resize these windows... but I am NOT going to leave blackbox -- it's the lightweight, powerful, beautiful window manager I've been looking for since I began my Linux odyssey! Applixware is built on the GTK+ toolkit -- and I use plenty of other GTK applications that don't have this problem (Galeon, Evolution, Pan, GAIM, etc.). Any ideas, anyone? Matthew
