Description Mark McLoughlin 2005-02-15 13:41:28 UTC 
If you run a session under xnest:

  $> Xnest -ac :1 &
  $> /etc/X11/xdm/Xsession gnome

open a window and try and resize it, you'll see that the window is
still clipped at its original shape. This happens under BlueCurve
because BlueCurve uses rounded window corners.

Fix is relatively trivial:

It'd be nice to get this in rawhide, though. Otherwise sessions running
in Xnest are very painful to use.

An example of the kind of problems I've seen:

Comment 3 Mike A. Harris 2005-02-16 22:22:43 UTC 
I've added myself to the upstream bug, and flagged it to nominate it for
the 6.8 stable branch.  Once it gets accepted into CVS, (assuming it does
of course) we will include it in future builds.

Thanks Mark.
Comment 4 Søren Sandmann Pedersen 2005-03-08 23:25:11 UTC 
This patch was already accepted into upstream HEAD, and very likely to
go into stable, so I have added it to our builds (basically to make
this bug disappear from MCP).
Comment 5 Mike A. Harris 2005-03-10 23:17:33 UTC 
The patch added to CVS doesn't compile with 6.8.2.  Reopening bug.
Comment 6 Mark McLoughlin 2005-03-11 09:11:59 UTC 
That's because its not the same patch as I attached. I've committed
the patch I attached (after confirming that it actually does still
build). I'll leave it up to you guys to re-enable it, though.
Comment 7 Mike A. Harris 2005-03-15 04:39:01 UTC 
Patch builds now.  Present in 6.8.2-10 and later in rawhide.

Will be in all future FC3/RHEL4/FC4 builds.
