Add a matcher of type "Class". click "Grab" button, then click on the weather window. it should enter "^Gweather-applet-2/gweather-applet-2$" 5. Click on Appearance Tab of the Matcher dialog. 6. Click "Frame Type" checkbox, and select "Normal" from the popup menu. 7. click on OK. This tells sawfish to make the gnome weather applet window a normal, resizable window. it would be better if the weather applet opened the window with the right attributes in the first place. craig -- craig sanders <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> "Martyrs have been sincere.

What more do you expect? no, it's not. it's a fixed-size, non-adjustable window. if it was adjustable, i would have adjusted it myself rather than submit a bug report. maybe metacity ignores the instruction to be a dialog window, but sawfish doesn't (i use sawfish with afterstep theme. partly because i'm used to it and the buttons are where i expect them to be, and partly because you can middle-click in the maximise button to get a vertical-only maximise...which metacity can't/doesn't do) craig -- craig sanders <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> BOFH excuse #436: Daemon escaped from pentagram

The window size is already adjustable, and the window size and location are remembered across logins. What more do you expect? -- .''`. : :' : We are debian.org.

Bug#420562: gnome weather applet has fixed size window
Package: gnome-applets Version: 2.14.3-6 this means that you have to scroll horizontally back and forth to read each line of the forecast. very annoying. vertical scrolling is acceptable, but horizontal scrolling sucks when reading text. the window size should either be user-adjustable (with the size being remembered after each change) OR the applet should make the window wide enough to display the forecast without needing horizontal scroll bars. e.g. all that displays in the window is: ---cut here IDV10450 Australian Government Bureau of Meteorology Victoria Melbourne Forecast Issued at 4:05 pm EST on Monday 23 April 2007 Warning Summary Nil. Forecast for Monday evening Fine. Moderate to fresh east to southeast winds. Precis: Fine. Forecast for Tuesday Fine. A mainly sunny day. Moderate to fresh east to southeast wi Precis: Fine.

NOTE: this bug is not new to this version. it's been around for as long as i've been using the weather applet. i've meant to report it as a bug before now, but never got around to it. craig -- craig sanders <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> BOFH excuse #366: ATM cell has no roaming feature turned on, notebooks can't connect -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
