In GNU Emacs 21.3.1 (sparc-sun-solaris2.8, X toolkit, Xaw3d scroll bars) of 2003-05-05 on rosewood configured using `configure --prefix=/proj/wdt/gnu_sun5.8/emacs-21.3' Important settings: value of $LC_ALL: nil value of $LC_COLLATE: nil value of $LC_CTYPE: nil value of $LC_MESSAGES: nil value of $LC_MONETARY: nil value of $LC_NUMERIC: nil value of $LC_TIME: nil value of $LANG: C locale-coding-system: nil default-enable-multibyte-characters: t Please describe exactly what actions triggered the bug and the precise symptoms of the bug: I just moved to emacs 21.3 after using 19.34 forever. I have noticed a few items in the managment of the emacs window that could be improved. I am using with dtwm and configured as shown above. The screen on the workstation is set for 1280x1024. I use the following X resources for emacs Emacs*Background: LightBlue Emacs*BitMapIcon: on Emacs*Font: fixed Emacs*Foreground: black Emacs*cursorColor: blue Emacs*pointerColor: blue Emacs.Geometry: 80x48-0-0 The geometry one is set to place emacs in the lower right corner of my screen. I invoke emacs with no switches and have disabled my .emacs and my default.el files to assure they do not cause the problems. Problem 1 When the emacs window comes up is is not in the lower right corner. It is about 10 pixels from the right side and about 16 pixels up from the bottom. I believe it should be all the way over and down. Problem 2 I then do M-X menu-bar-mode and indeed the bar goes away but the bottom of the window moves up. Based on the geometry settings I would have expected the top of the window to move down to keep the window at the bottom. Problem 3 Starting at problem 1, I then maximize the window and the bottom of emacs goes below the bottom of the screen by about half the distance of the mode line area. There is plenty of room at the top of the screen to have placed the window at the lower right corner. Problem 4 I can't figure out how to duplicate this one. But the winodw I am using right now is doing it. At times the entire mode line has gone below the bottom of the screen. Feel free to ask questions.
