Re: AW: xemacs trouble maximizing window

Krueger, Wulf wrote: There are several issues: 1. XEmacs specifies a resize increment based upon the size of the default font, so that the WM will resize the window such that the window has an integral number of character rows and columns. 2. XEmacs changes the base size (i.e. the size of a 0 x 0 window) whenever GUI elements (e.g. scrollbar, modeline, gutter) are inserted or removed (e.g. due to splitting or removing windows). 3. XEmacs also specifies an absolute size (PSize flag); whenever the WM resizes the window, it recomputes this size to be the closest size to the new size which satisfies the gridding constraints. My guess is that the WM makes the window the full size of the screen, ignoring the gridding constraints, XEmacs recomputes the correct size according to the gridding constraints, and the WM then resizes the window to the new size. XEmacs probably shouldn't be specifying an absolute size. At least, it shouldn't be changing it when the window gets resized; it will be specified at startup to match the geometry resource setting. OTOH, the WM should probably ignore XEmacs' requested size when the user has chosen to maximise the window. XEmacs will correctly handle the case where the it doesn't get the requested size, leaving some blank space at the right and bottom edges. -- Glynn Clements <glynn(a)gclements.plus.com&gt;
