Subject: Program-specified positions ignored?
Date: Sat, 14 Sep 2002 21:51:06 -0400 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <E17qOZ0-0000Ob-00@fencepost.gnu.org> (raw)
I looked at the bug report below, and it seems that the specified
positions are not being used at all in the toolkit version, when the
user-position parameter is nil. (This corresponds to the USPosition
flag for Xlib.) Here is the code which does that?
if (window_prompting & USPosition)
sprintf (shell_position, "=%dx%d%c%d%c%d",
PIXEL_WIDTH (f) + extra_borders,
PIXEL_HEIGHT (f) + menubar_size + extra_borders,
(xneg ? '-' : '+'), left,
(yneg ? '-' : '+'), top);
else
sprintf (shell_position, "=%dx%d",
PIXEL_WIDTH (f) + extra_borders,
PIXEL_HEIGHT (f) + menubar_size + extra_borders);
}
len = strlen (shell_position) + 1;
/* We don't free this because we don't know whether
it is safe to free it while the frame exists.
It isn't worth the trouble of arranging to free it
when the frame is deleted. */
tem = (char *) xmalloc (len);
strncpy (tem, shell_position, len);
XtSetArg (al[ac], XtNgeometry, tem); ac++;
XtSetValues (shell_widget, al, ac);
I am pretty sure that the reason for this is that including
program-specified positions in XtNgeometry would override the window
manager, which is wrong. But if that is the wrong way to pass the
program-specified positions to Xt, what is the right way?

The more I dig into this the more I believe it is a bug.
I recently upgraded from Redhat Linux 7.2 to 7.3. As part of the update,
my emacs changed from version 20.7 to Emacs 21.2 and I now find that
several of my frame customizations don't work. In particular, the
frame-parameters "top" and "left" get ignored.
For example:
In version 20.7 I used the following command to create a second frame
positioned all the way to the right of my screen:
(make-frame '((height . 70) (width . 93) (top . 0) (left . 581)))
under emacs 21.2.1 the command above produces a frame of height=70 and
width=93 but the window is positioned at top=0 and left=0. I get an
identical result when I try to set "top" or "left" values for the variables
"special-display-frame-alist" and "default-frame-alist"
Something changed between the releases and, as of yet, I am unable to work
around the problem.
