Description of problem: Metacity still can't handle large windows How reproducible: 100% Steps to Reproduce: 1. On a large monitor start evolution set it to be big (no maximised) 2. Save session and exit 3. Change X display size 4. Restart evolution on new smaller display Actual results: Window extends below bottom of screen and cannot be resized Expected results: Metacity refuses window size change request and clips it to fit on desktop with panel space. Additional info: Every other window manager gets this right. Metacity may want to stop users putting windows larger than screen size but if so it needs to properly handle such windows itself. ICCCM specifically permits window managers to have the last say in window sizing and testing apps with twm shows they handle it properly.
I know this is a duplicate bug ;-)
Moved to gnome.org as http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=123800 where it will be seen more often.
