Well, as metacity is gnomes' window manager, it should seem obvious;). State information about an object is not contained in the window manager. > http://www.collaborium.org/onsite/jos2000/related/guides/gnome/wm.html This site says "GNOME is not dependent on any one window manager. This means that major parts of your desktop environment will not change when you decide to switch window managers.". By placement, I would assume that means that the window manager of course place the window, but with the position requested by the application, if any state data is available. > 1. It's the window managers job to place windows Sure, the initial placement, before any state information exist, is up to the window manager. > Not even GIMP It sure does. It saves state information on window positions. Same does nautilus. Imagine the window manager having to database all the positions of every "folder. Then when you changed window manager, you'd have to do it all over again. This information belongs to the object. -- Esben Stien is [EMAIL PROTECTED] s a http://www. s t n m irc://irc. b - i . e/%23contact [sip|iax]: e e jid:b0ef@ n n _______________________________________________ epiphany-list mailing list [email protected] http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/epiphany-list
