Subject: xfce4-utils: prevent window resize on startup Package: xfce4-utils Version: 4.4.1-1 Severity: minor Tags: patch
the following patch to xfce4-help/info.c sizes the help window to the maximum horizontal width that fits all of the text boxes (590 pixels). this is currently done with -1 (automatic), and the window ends up resizing a couple times when the application starts up. this is a disorienting and undesirable effect for the user. however, it is minor and an easy fix. mike --- info.c 2007-01-25 15:50:52.000000000 -0500 +++ info-new.c 2007-06-23 02:02:53.000000000 -0400 @@ -411,7 +411,7 @@ /* the notebook */ notebook = gtk_notebook_new (); gtk_widget_show (notebook); - gtk_widget_set_size_request (notebook, -1, 270); + gtk_widget_set_size_request (notebook, 590, 270); gtk_box_pack_start (GTK_BOX (vbox), notebook, TRUE, TRUE, 0); /* add pages */ -- System Information: Debian Release: lenny/sid APT prefers testing APT policy: (500, 'testing'), (400, 'unstable'), (1, 'experimental') Architecture: i386 (i686) Kernel: Linux 2.6.21-1-686 (SMP w/1 CPU core) Locale: LANG=en_US.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=en_US.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/bash Versions of packages xfce4-utils depends on: ii gnome-terminal [x-term 2.14.2-2 The GNOME 2 terminal emulator appl ii konsole [x-terminal-em 4:3.5.5a.dfsg.1-6 X terminal emulator for KDE ii libatk1.0-0 1.18.0-2 The ATK accessibility toolkit ii libc6 2.5-9+b1 GNU C Library: Shared libraries ii libcairo2 1.4.6-1.1 The Cairo 2D vector graphics libra ii libfontconfig1 2.4.2-1.2 generic font configuration library ii libfreetype6 2.2.1-6 FreeType 2 font engine, shared lib ii libglib2.0-0 2.12.12-1 The GLib library of C routines ii libgtk2.0-0 2.10.12-2 The GTK+ graphical user interface ii libpango1.0-0 1.16.4-1 Layout and rendering of internatio ii libpng12-0 1.2.15~beta5-2 PNG library - runtime ii libx11-6 2:1.0.3-7 X11 client-side library ii libxcursor1 1:1.1.8-2 X cursor management library ii libxext6 1:1.0.3-2 X11 miscellaneous extension librar ii libxfce4util4 4.4.1-1 Utility functions library for Xfce ii libxfcegui4-4 4.4.1-1 Basic GUI C functions for Xfce4 ii libxfixes3 1:4.0.3-2 X11 miscellaneous 'fixes' extensio ii libxi6 1:1.0.1-4 X11 Input extension library ii libxinerama1 1:1.0.2-1 X11 Xinerama extension library ii libxrandr2 2:1.2.1-1 X11 RandR extension library ii libxrender1 1:0.9.2-1 X Rendering Extension client libra ii tilda [x-terminal-emul 0.09.2-1 terminal with first person shooter ii xfce4-terminal [x-term 0.2.5.8rc2-1 Xfce terminal emulator ii xterm [x-terminal-emul 225-1 X terminal emulator ii zlib1g 1:1.2.3-15 compression library - runtime Versions of packages xfce4-utils recommends: ii thunar 0.8.0-3 File Manager for Xfce ii xfce4-panel 4.4.1-1 The Xfce4 desktop environment pane ii xfwm4 4.4.1-1 window manager of the Xfce project -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
