This behaviour in the last ion3 snapshot 20040703 looks like a bug (haven't tried a later subversion but no changelog entries appear to mention this problem):
on a WFloatWS open up an xv on some image. by opening up the `xv controls' window and clicking on the an image name you can cause xv to (re)load an image. if you do this when the main xv window has a tab, the image reloads whilst the overall xv window stays in the same place on the screen (as expected). if you toggle the window tab on the main xv window to off and do a series of (re)loads, each load causes the xv window to move up the screen by an amount that looks to be the tab bar height. The first time, this might be some sort of adjustment of the geometry to take in to account the absence of a tab and not worth bothering about but the fact it happens on each loading seems odd. I don't think this is an xv bug (I've seen something similar with a different window manager and the wm author told me it was due to a bug in the gravity handling (?) in the wm, which he then fixed.) Anyway, hope the bug report helps, __cheers, dave____________________________________________ www.inf.ed.ac.uk/people/staff/David_Tweed.html tel: +44 131 651 3447 fax: +44 131 651 3435 X wrote a book about this, which Y was carrying around for a long time with little discernible effect -- John Baez
