Package: wmaker
Version: 0.91.0-7.2
Severity: important

Hello,

I'd like to report a (or may be this are two?) bug with WindowMaker
which occurs if it has to display 'full-screen' in OpenOffice.
The Debian configuration is 'stable' at the 'proposed-updates'-level,
(i.e. sarge(-proposed-updages)), Intel i386 architecture.

The problem is 'new' for sarge, it didn't occur with 'woody'
and its '0.80' wmaker version and it exists for several graphic
architectures (e.g. ati, nvidia, mga) for different X11 screen
sizes (1024x768, 1280x1024, 1600x1200). It also does not(!) appear
when using GNOME or KDE resp. their windowmanagers, thus it is
most likely related to (just) WindowMaker (0.91).

The problem is, that when going to 'full-screen' mode in OpenOffice
Impress via menu or short-key Ctrl-Shift-J, the window becomes large,
but the 'offset' to the upper-left corner is somewhere to the left
and above mid-screen, but not in the real upper-left hand corner;
also the window-borders are missing (or overlapped), so that it
cannot be dragged or repositioned. Thus this mode is useless.

This would account for a severity of 'normal' in my eyes, but what
makes it 'important' instead is, that the presentation mode of
(OpenOffice) Impress gives a window totally within the screen-window,
but considerably smaller than the screen (as if it got a wrong size
information), has no borders (which would be expected here!), and
has a contents of large black stripes at the top and bottom and an
(empty?) white mid-section. This, of course, makes the presentation  
mode useless!

The OpenOffice versions I experienced this with, are a 1.1.4 version
(self-installed) as well as the 1.1.3 version included in the Debian
sarge distribution; thus it is unlikely, that it is a OpenOffice
problem - especially since it works as expected 'under' GNOME and
KDE.

I'm sorry, but I have no idea what the origin of the problem is or
how to avoid or fix it.

Any help or fix is welcome.

Thanks for the good work and with best regards,
 Ruediger Oberhage
