I have a script that creates eight terminals, and tiles them across the desktop per their geometry positions. This works with mate-terminal.
/usr/bin/xfce4-terminal --geometry=113x56+0+33
/usr/bin/xfce4-terminal --geometry=113x56-63+33
/usr/bin/xfce4-terminal --geometry=113x56+0-0
/usr/bin/xfce4-terminal --geometry=113x56+133-25
/usr/bin/xfce4-terminal --geometry=113x56+266-52
/usr/bin/xfce4-terminal --geometry=113x56+406-78
/usr/bin/xfce4-terminal --geometry=113x56+531+84
/usr/bin/xfce4-terminal --geometry=113x56+659+60
This new update still misplaces the terminals, but they're closer to the desired positions than they used to be.
ok. I wonder if the xfwm4 'smart placement' is messing things up. Can you go to settings-> window manager tweaks and move the slider for what size windows get smart placement? Does that change anything? If not, we will have to talk with upstream about it... I tried placing the slider at both extremes, there was no effect on placement. ok. Would you be willing to file this upstream at bugzilla.xfce.org ? And perhaps refer to https://bugzilla.xfce.org/show_bug.cgi?id=12810 where this was worked on. ;( Thanks very much! For ease of testing, here's a f24 scratch build with the upstream test patch: https://koji.fedoraproject.org/koji/taskinfo?taskID=15587601 I installed xfce4-terminal-0.6.92-2.fc26.x86_64 from koji but it fails to start: xfce4-terminal: symbol lookup error: xfce4-terminal: undefined symbol: vte_regex_new_for_search Oops. My mistake, accidentially made it a rawhide build. ;( Try: https://koji.fedoraproject.org/koji/taskinfo?taskID=15588030 This seems to work. Window placements are as they were before the change that triggered my PR. xfce4-terminal-0.6.92-1.fc25 has been pushed to the Fedora 25 stable repository. If problems still persist, please make note of it in this bug report. xfce4-terminal-0.6.92-1.fc24 has been pushed to the Fedora 24 stable repository.
