Package: ssh-askpass
Version: 1:1.2.4.1-9
Severity: wishlist
Tags: upstream patch
Dear Philip,
I am using i3-wm with two monitors and Xrandr.
In this setup, ssh-askpass plonks itself over the crack between the screens.
It doesn't have any facility to control where it places itself.
I have tried configuring i3 to place it elsewhere, for example,
for_window [title=".*OpenSSH.*"] move position 400px 400px
This works for other windows (e.g. if I make a floating xterm and
change the title to OpenSSH), but not for ssh-askpass. It always
appears in the same place whatever I try with i3.
So I thought I would add some X resources to ssh-askpass so I could
control its position. (This is much easier than making it respect
Xrandr.)
Here's a trivial and somewhat half-arsed patch.
