A window couldn't force its size as I understand it. So why shoudln't E17 limit the max size to screen size even if the app requests a bigger size. Same with window position. If a app requests a position outside a window E17 should simply move it so that it's complete inside the viewable screen. I think such a policy would solve most of the problems. You should see it with the users eyes. Which E17 user hadn't yet seen this too big opened windows and missplaced dialog windows? > > Do you think this behaviour is good?

I had never problems like this with e.g. Metacity. (Ok, I've other problems with Metacity, but that's another story...) It's too easy to say: "stupid application!" We couldn't rewrite all apllications or use alternatives :-) regards Andreas ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Take Surveys. Earn Cash.
