Category: None Group: gtk bug #153219 >Status: Closed Resolution: None Priority: 5 Private: No Submitted By: Justin (slate104) Assigned to: Daniel Atallah (datallah) Summary: windows position not remembered Initial Comment: when opening a new conversation window whether it be from a new incoming im or from clicking on a buddy the window opens at the top left of the screen. Move it to the desired position on the screen and once it is closed subsequent conversation windows will be opened on the top left of the screen. Can we please have it so that windows position is remembered on conversation windows? I have 1.2.1 but this has happened on all versions.

I'm using Gaim 2.0 and it doesn't store the window's position nor size. Recently there's been a plugin that saves the position but not (yet?) the size of conversation windows (for gaim 2.0b2). Here's the link: http://sourceforge.net/tracker/index.php?func=detail&aid=1414861&group_id=235&atid=390395 Hope it helps people out! ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Comment By: Daniel Atallah (datallah) Date: 2005-05-09 11:30 Message: Logged In: YES user_id=325843 This is mostly a GTK+ bug (that it always opens in the top left instead of allowing Windows to place it). Conversation windows' locations are not currently stored because it has been decided that it is the job of the window manager to decide window locations. That said, it is possible that at some point in the future we will store window locations and apply them to new windows being opened. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Comment By: Justin (slate104) Date: 2005-05-04 06:02 Message: Logged In: YES user_id=1268611 Windows XP SP2 with all the latest updates.

By the way, slate104, can you give out your config (Windows version, Gaim locale, GTK+ revision, etc.)? It might help the devs in their bug-search... ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Comment By: Justin (slate104) Date: 2005-05-01 10:53 Message: Logged In: YES user_id=1268611 Size is not even the important thing to me, it is how it ALWAYS opens in the left corner. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Comment By: Yop83 (yop83) Date: 2005-05-01 02:48 Message: Logged In: YES user_id=732025 I have also experimented this bug while using the french localised version of Gaim (I used mostly pre-1.2.1 versions). The only way to bypass this, for me, was to use the english version (by setting the GAIMLANG variable to "en", as explained in the windows port FAQ). This solution allowed the window's position and size to be correctly remembered (does not seem to work with 1.2.1, see below). Ok, I just tested this with GAIM 1.2.1 (still in English), and it seems the size is remembered, relatively correctly (given it's not under about 300px wide, or else it defaults to a width of about 300px, which seems the smallest "saveable" size of a window), but the position ALWAYS defaults to the upper left corner of the screen.
