Linux is a kernel. For more information, please read: http://www.gnu.org/gnu/why-gnu-linux.html > Start Xnest by using command :Xnest :1& DISPLAY=:1 xterm & But I figure that you had a window manager running when recording? YOu should start that in XNest as well. SImple set the DISPLAY=:1 and start the same wm as when recording. This way you should get the same size of "everything". But I think an easier way would be to use gdmXnestchooser, like this (just a suggestion): gdmXnestchooser --xnest="Xnest -geometry 600x400+0+0 :1" Then you'll get your wm running the same way as when logging in as normal :) > Now you are "simulating" Microsoft Windows and some > win32 Xserver software running in MS-Windows > WITHOUT any window manager -> so there is no title bar > in xterm. You can start a window manager in Windows+Xserver as well. A window manager is (basically) like any other X program, well almost like any other program. > Explanation: If window manager is used when recording, title > bar height will "push" the whole self centering window little > bit downwards on the screen.

You have to start the same wm as when recording, other wise things are not the same, which is a basis for replaying. > I would like to solve this problem (when replay without > titlebar) by using command: gdmXnestchooser and the same wm as when recording solves this as well. > xnee --replay --offset -21,-4 -f gnome-about.xnee > > "--offset -21,-4" means: xnee will remove 21 pixel > from every recorded x -coordinate and xnee > will remove 4 pixel from every recorded y -coordinate > during replay. > > Unfortunately, there is no --offset switch available > currently in xnee.

A really great thing about Xephyr is that the host doesn't have to have RECORD enabled or even built. Xepthyr can be seen as a stand alone X server running on a software graphic card (X window). > Imagine situation where somebody records in Linux many days with > xnee by using application which uses self-centered window. > And when he/she is trying to playback in MS-Windows X-server, he/she > will discover that it does not work!

I think that this > is a lack of feature (=lack of --offset -switch) in xnee. We will add it. Probably during the coming week. Please hold on for a couple of days. Until then you can read the text (see above) about why I do not call the OS Linux. I call it GNU/Linux.
