Description of problem: Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): wmctrl-1.07-19.fc24.x86_64 How reproducible: Perfectly Steps to Reproduce: 1. When using a WM which does not support the _NET_MOVERESIZE_WINDOW mechanism (eg i3wm), if window-id 0x1800007 (determined by xwininfo) refers to a window, then: wmctrl -i -r 0x1800007 -e 0,0,0,-1,-1 # window moves wmctrl -i -r 0x1800007 -e 0,0,-1,-1,-1 # window does not move Both commands move the window when using fluxbox. More information (including a fix) is posted here: https://github.com/i3/i3/issues/2601
If a good patch can be made I don't mind including it in Fedora. As far as I know upstream development has stopped. Nice that i3 may get _NET_MOVERESIZE_WINDOW.
Not sure that this is a _good_ patch but it more or less works on i3 inasmuch as it's no worse and a little better!! the 'better' part is that window moves (my original complaint) now work. the 'no worse' part reflects another bug in the original program - a resize takes 2 attempts to actually work! This patch does not fix that and may reveal a bug in XResizeWindow() (hard to believe!!). In the mixed 'move and resize' I just don't know why I had to get the parent window geometry - suffice to say, doing XGetGeometry() on the immediate window id (as returned by xwininfo) does not get what we need. I'm no expert on X intrinsics so can't comment more. Anyways, the following patch only affects WMs that do not honour _NET_MOVERESIZE_WINDOW such as i3 so it's unlikely to have wide implications. wmctrl-net_moveresize.patch: diff -Naur wmctrl-1.07.orig/main.c wmctrl-1.07/main.c --- wmctrl-1.07.orig/main.c 2005-01-29 13:31:33.000000000 +1000 +++ wmctrl-1.07/main.c 2016-12-18 19:23:39.993322856 +1000 @@ -861,14 +861,30 @@ } else { p_verbose("WM doesn't support _NET_MOVERESIZE_WINDOW.

This message is a reminder that Fedora 24 is nearing its end of life. Approximately 2 (two) weeks from now Fedora will stop maintaining and issuing updates for Fedora 24. It is Fedora's policy to close all bug reports from releases that are no longer maintained. At that time this bug will be closed as EOL if it remains open with a Fedora 'version' of '24'. Package Maintainer: If you wish for this bug to remain open because you plan to fix it in a currently maintained version, simply change the 'version' to a later Fedora version. Thank you for reporting this issue and we are sorry that we were not able to fix it before Fedora 24 is end of life. If you would still like to see this bug fixed and are able to reproduce it against a later version of Fedora, you are encouraged change the 'version' to a later Fedora version prior this bug is closed as described in the policy above. Although we aim to fix as many bugs as possible during every release's lifetime, sometimes those efforts are overtaken by events. Often a more recent Fedora release includes newer upstream software that fixes bugs or makes them obsolete.
