There are several simple ways to recover windows "lost" this way: - Alt-middle-click on background, select window - Right-click on dragbar or Ctrl-middle-click on background, select window.
I do think that it's a bug that shaded windows may go offscreen, but I think a better solution than to inhibit the shading is to move the shaded window back on the screen.
Btw. 0.16.6 is getting a bit old. If you do use eesh, 0.16.7 or 0.16.8 (in CVS) have a lot more features. With 0.16.8, your Skype iconification would simply be "eesh wop Skype iconify".

First: happy new year.
I discovered a bug several years ago, and it looks like it has never been patched, so I finally report about it.
I dont where the BTS of E16 is, so I just write you becaus you are in the README of the CVS.
My theme put the window bar as default above the window.
I use multiple desktops, and virtual ones.
When I am in a upper virtual, and put the top bar of a window even upper, I mean outside the viewable space, a double click ( keeping ALT pressed) makes the window shade up, as usual, but it this particular case, the window bar is not reachable, thus the window is lost.
If this window is a compose window for a mail, or a chat, then all the dialog is lost ...
What I would like, is E not to shade a window when the actual (multiple)desktop has '0' in its coordinates, AND one of the coordinates of the bar is negative. This equation will match rare cases when this restriction should not apply, but my point is to report a very ennoying problem. I thing you are a big boy enough to enhance my equations.
Actually, I wrote small script to catch back lost windows: /usr/bin/eesh -e "win_op `/usr/bin/eesh -ewait window_list | /bin/grep Skype | /usr/bin/cut -d ":" -f1` iconify" iconifies a lost window called 'Skype' ...
All I want is E16 to forbid shading windows which could potentially get lost.
Shading is now a reflex, good when in low desktops, bad when in top ones. And many times reflexes occur due to exication, unconsciously, and Murphy will tell that they occur specially at the end of the most important mail, when you write the mail in desktop (0,0) :D

on Debian SID, with some bits from E CVS ...
PS: enhancement of the equation would be to measure the heigh and width of the decorative bar, and check if it is more left than width, or upper than height ... - -- DEMAINE Beno__t-Pierre http:/www.demaine.info/ \_o< apt-get remove ispell >o_/ There're 10 types of people: those who can count in binary and those who can't -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.2.5 (GNU/Linux) Comment: Using GnuPG with Thunderbird - http://enigmail.mozdev.org
