Package: openbox Version: 3.4.11.1-1 Severity: minor If openbox is set up with a panel on the top edge of the screen very few programs are placed incorrectly when started the first time in that way, that the window doesn't respect the panel and will be placed on the top edge of the screen, meaning that its menu bar will be hidden underneath the panel. If I move the application window to the correct position I can close the window or terminate the application completely, the next time I bring it up again the window has the correct position - until I reboot. The programs with this problem I identified so far are ktorrent and torcs. All others I use work fine and respect the panels. These fine working programs include kolourpaint (so nothing KDE related) and rhythmbox (so no general problem with programs that start iconified).
It also doesn't matter which panel or distribution is used. I first found the effect on Debian Squeeze with Gnome where I replaced metacity with openbox, but I could reproduce it with Lubuntu 10.04 and openSuse 11.3 where I use a plain LXDE installation with openbox and lxpanel. Interestingly the size of the window is correct, it is just displaced. If the application is started with a maximized window and it is placed too high, there is a gap on the bottom of the window that has the height of the upper panel. This bug might be related to #551807 but I'm not sure. regards hikaru -- System Information: Debian Release: squeeze/sid APT prefers testing APT policy: (500, 'testing') Architecture: amd64 (x86_64) Kernel: Linux 2.6.32-5-amd64 (SMP w/8 CPU cores) Locale: LANG=de_DE.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=de_DE.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/dash Versions of packages openbox depends on: ii libc6 2.11.2-7 Embedded GNU C Library: Shared lib ii libfontconfig1 2.8.0-2.1 generic font configuration library ii libfreetype6 2.4.2-1 FreeType 2 font engine, shared lib ii libglib2.0-0 2.24.2-1 The GLib library of C routines ii libice6 2:1.0.6-2 X11 Inter-Client Exchange library ii libobparser21 3.4.11.1-1 parsing library for openbox ii libobrender21 3.4.11.1-1 rendering library for openbox them ii libpango1.0-0 1.28.3-1 Layout and rendering of internatio ii libsm6 2:1.1.1-1 X11 Session Management library ii libstartup-notification 0.10-1 library for program launch feedbac ii libx11-6 2:1.3.3-3 X11 client-side library ii libxau6 1:1.0.6-1 X11 authorisation library ii libxext6 2:1.1.2-1 X11 miscellaneous extension librar ii libxft2 2.1.14-2 FreeType-based font drawing librar ii libxinerama1 2:1.1-3 X11 Xinerama extension library ii libxml2 2.7.8.dfsg-1 GNOME XML library ii libxrandr2 2:1.3.0-3 X11 RandR extension library ii libxrender1 1:0.9.6-1 X Rendering Extension client libra ii zlib1g 1:1.2.3.4.dfsg-3 compression library - runtime Versions of packages openbox recommends: ii openbox-themes 1.0.2 Themes for the Openbox window mana Versions of packages openbox suggests: pn libxml2-dev <none> (no description available) ii menu 2.1.44 generates programs menu for all me ii obconf 2.0.3-3 Preferences manager for Openbox wi ii python 2.6.6-3+squeeze1 interactive high-level object-orie ii ttf-dejavu 2.31-1 Metapackage to pull in ttf-dejavu- -- no debconf information -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
