Summary: New conversation windows spawn underneath taskbar
Initial Comment:
Gaim version: 2.0.0beta2
Platform: Windows (XP)
Steps to Reproduce:
1) Place taskbar on top of screen
2) Start gaim
3) Open new conversation window
Window now appears partially obscured by taskbar.
In windows, if the taskbar is placed at the top of the
screen, new conversation windows spawn at 0,0, which is
underneath the taskbar. This is actually more of an
issue with gtk on windows, but it would be nice if gaim
would work around this. It could be fixed (I believe)
by placing a call to gtk_window_set_position in gtconv.c:
Add (somewhere after gtk_window_new in GaimGtkWindow *
gaim_gtk_conv_window_new()):
gtk_window_set_position(GTK_WINDOW(win->window),
GTK_WIN_POS_CENTER);
This will position new windows in the center of the
screen. Possibly not what the desired outcome is, but
it would at least keep the window from being covered by
a taskbar on the top or left-hand side of the screen.

This is not a Gaim bug, but a bug in GTK+, the widget toolkit
used by Gaim. Your bug is being moved to our "gtk bugs" tracker,
where it will be grouped with similar bugs. When we know a gtk
bug number for this issue, your group number will reflect it.

There is a plugin in the plugin tracker that contains a
workaround to this.
