Hi,
I am using Ubuntu 14.04 and have been a devilspie user for a long time. It stopped working right some time ago, and just now I decided to upgrade to devilspie2 0.31
I seem to have a lot of windows placement/geometry issues:
1) Inconsitent placement: Over various logins, windows appear at different places and sizes, despite my geometry declaration not changing:
set_window_geometry2(0,0,750,1000);
2) The (0,0) origin coordinates do not correspond to my actual desktop origin. They appear with offset as seen by xwininfo:
Absolute upper-left X: 75
Absolute upper-left Y: 58
Relative upper-left X: 0
Relative upper-left Y: 0
Width: 749
Height: 992
Depth: 32
Visual: 0x97
Visual Class: TrueColor
Border width: 0
Class: InputOutput
Colormap: 0x280000b (not installed)
Bit Gravity State: NorthWestGravity
Window Gravity State: NorthWestGravity
Backing Store State: NotUseful
Save Under State: no
Map State: IsViewable
Override Redirect State: no
Corners: +75+58 -856+58 -856-0 +75-0
-geometry 83x55+65--10
Is there any way to quickly fix these issues? Is there a better tool for automated x-window
placement in Linux?
TIA
Nikos
