Those aren't appropriate reasons for closing bugs.  Hopefully one day
the bug will really be resolved.

Bug#4267: xosview doesn't understand -geometry very well

1996-08-25 Thread Richard Kettlewell 
Package: xosview
Version: 1.3.2-1

I ran xosview with this command:

xosview -geometry 48x48+388+0 

and indeed from xlsclients -l:

Window 0x282:
  Machine:  sfere
  Name:  [EMAIL PROTECTED]
  Icon Name:  [EMAIL PROTECTED]
  Command:  xosview -geometry 48x48+388+0
  Instance/Class:  xosview/xosview

...but (as you can see below) the window is not in the correct
position:

xwininfo: Window id: 0x282 [EMAIL PROTECTED]

  Absolute upper-left X:  392
  Absolute upper-left Y:  3
  Relative upper-left X:  0
  Relative upper-left Y:  0
  Width: 48
  Height: 48
  Depth: 8
  Visual Class: PseudoColor
  Border width: 0
  Class: InputOutput
  Colormap: 0x26 (installed)
  Bit Gravity State: NorthWestGravity
  Window Gravity State: NorthWestGravity
  Backing Store State: NotUseful
  Save Under State: no
  Map State: IsViewable
  Override Redirect State: no
  Corners:  +392+3  -160+3  -160-399  +392-399
  -geometry 48x48+390+1

Sometimes xosview positions itself near, but not exactly in, the right
place; sometimes it positions itself in the upper left corner of the
screen; and occasionally it even ends up in the right place.

Bug#4267: xosview doesn't understand -geometry very well

 I ran xosview with this command:
 
 xosview -geometry 48x48+388+0 

xosview does not confirm to most X standards.

It really isn't a very nice programme.

The upstream maintainer says he will some time start using the
standard Xt interface, but he didn't say when.

Xosview-1.4.1 AFAIK doesn't use it.

I'm closing this bug, as I cannot do anything about it, and
the upstream maintainer doesn't care.

Thanks anyway,
