You are right. The cursor was two pixels off to the left, I just fixed that. >The font it chose seems uncomfortably large for the size of the >edit field. Indeed, the entire greeter widget seems cramped and It choses the fonts for prompt and text and then sizes the edit fields to these two fonts. Previously it miscalculated sizes which caused it to misplace the characters in relation to the border. Now it does an exact calculation. The previous guesswork may or may not have accidentially introduced some visible padding. Now there is no padding between font and field border. But since the calculation is now exact, we can add some padding. >the CLIENTHOST (which is the FQDN in my case) makes the greet message >extend to the left quite a way. It used not to do that. It did sometimes. I now made the widget is a little bit wider so that the message neither touches or trashes the border. -- -- Michael van Elst Internet: mlel...@serpens.de "A potential Snark may lurk in every tree."
