window handles (bars) cannot be moved off of screen anymore
Last modified: 2007-04-18 12:57:16 EDT
Description of problem: i can't get the window handle bar off of the screen in redhat 9.0... the main reason i would like to resolve this is for full use of rdesktop where a full 1024x768 screen is transmitted but while avoiding full screen mode) Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): How reproducible: try moving the window off the screen (so that the blue handle bar is 100% off of the screen) Steps to Reproduce: 1. bring up a full screen window (of rdestop preferably) 2. try and move the blue bar off of the screen by left click,hold,draging upwards Actual results: bar does not go off screen (this may be a feature but to me it's a bug) Expected results: in redhat 8.0, this could be done to get more of a visible screen for rdestop (so i could use the windows "taskbar" more effectively without the linux start panel getting in the way) Additional info: work around... unlock the windows taskbar and move it to the top of the screen (rather than the default bottom placement) and/or do the same with the gnome-panel and/or slide it our of the way....
XFree86 has nothing to do with this. It may or may not be a bug in something, but definitely nothing to do with XFree86. More likely it is your window manager. Please reassign the bug to the proper component if you're using a window manager that comes with Red Hat Linux. If you're using a 3rd party window manager, please close this bug NOTABUG, and file a bug in the bug tracker for the project of the window manager you're using.
Closing as "NOTABUG". If the problem persists for you, please file a bug report against the window manager you are using.
