From Bugzilla Helper: User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.4) Gecko/20030703 Description of problem: After I subscribed to the Severn-updates channel and continuously installed all available updates, which started some time early this week, xchat wouldn't reopen on the same screen position it was when I last closed it. Instead, the position it chooses seems to be offset by the exact amount of space taken by the window manager windows borders and the top bar. I.e., every time I start it, it moves down one row and right a few pixels. This is somewhat annoying, and didn't happen before the updates. I can't tell whether the problem is in the window manager or xchat proper, so I included version numbers for both. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): xchat-2.0.4-2 metacity-2.5.3-3 How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1.start xchat 2.place a marker on the upper-left corner somehow (say, another window) 3.close xchat 4.open it again Actual Results: the position will be off: the window manager border's upper-left corner will be where the application's upper-left corner used to be Expected Results: it should come back at the same location it was before it was closed, like it did before the updates Additional info:
Added WM maintainers to CC list in case they're aware of any WM related problems. I'm unable to reproduce with my system.
Created attachment 94387 [details] Patch (extracted from current CVS), fixing this for me.
Patch applied to 2.0.4-3 and confirmed by aoliva via IRC to fix the problem. Also built for Taroon as 2.0.4-3.EL Thanks for the patch Miloslav.
