As I said, we currently use the workarea in gtk_window_guess_default_size() when figuring out which size to give the window initially. Thats somewhat useful, even if we have no control of the placement. >> >> 7) Root window drop > > > When is this useful? One place where it is used is when dragging tabs out of a window to create a new window. gnome-terminal, gedit, nautilus, all do this. But looking closer, the way it is implemented is not actually as a root window drop, specifically, but just any failed drop - if you don't drop on a notebook in the same app that is hooked up to accept the tab, we just treat any failed drop as a change to create a new window. So, what we need is a signal that a drop failed. Not sure we get that, currently ? _______________________________________________ wayland-devel mailing list wayland-devel@lists.freedesktop.org http://lists.freedesktop.org/mailman/listinfo/wayland-devel
