Category: None Group: gtk bug #153219 >Status: Closed Resolution: None Priority: 5 Private: No Submitted By: Tom Simpson (gameraboy) Assigned to: Daniel Atallah (datallah) Summary: Message window position is wrong Initial Comment: I have dual monitors. My left monitor is smaller and lower down than my other monitor. When I open a new message window in Gaim, it always opens in the top left corner. Which would be ok if the top left corner existed on that monitor. It is reading the y coordinate based on the total desktop height. My left monitor is 1280x1024. My main monitor is 1900x1200. So the window is created at 0,0 based on the 1200 height, with the first 176 pixels off screen. To get the window somewhere I can use it I have to right-click the task in the taskbar, choose move, hit the arrow key once to grab the window, then I can move it and place it with my mouse. The ideal behavior would be for Gaim to remember the last used window position and reappear there. The next most ideal would be a sanity check when the window is created to make sure that it is not appearing off screen on a dual monitor system. This was not a problem with Gaim 1.5, this is a new bug specific with 2.0 beta 1. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Comment By: commo1 (commo1) Date: 2005-12-19 11:49 Message: Logged In: YES user_id=1408480 I've had almost the same problem since day 1. I have a 3 monitor system, I use the center window as my main work screen, the left one for reference and bittorrent, etc... and the right one for IM and web browsing. I have Gaim running to the far right on the right monitor. When I open a conversation window, it opens at the upper left corner of the center screen. I drag it to the upper left of the right screen. If I close the window, and reopen, Gaim (or GTK+) doesn't remember the past position and opens under my work on the main screen. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Comment By: Daniel Atallah (datallah) Date: 2005-12-19 11:35 Message: Logged In: YES user_id=325843 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. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Comment By: Daniel Atallah (datallah) Date: 2005-12-19 11:35 Message: Logged In: YES user_id=325843 I should resurrect the plugin that I made to work around this. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- You can respond by visiting: https://sourceforge.net/tracker/?func=detail&atid=680472&aid=1385211&group_id=235 ------------------------------------------------------------------------- This SF.net email is sponsored by DB2 Express Download DB2 Express C - the FREE version of DB2 express and take control of your XML.
