Alt + right-click --> "set stacking" --> "on top"
I am trying to not cover those special windows when a window is
maximized. Acording to a message posted by Kim Woelders on
enlightenment-devel some time ago,
http://marc.theaimsgroup.com/?l=enlightenment-devel&m=107305772608537&w=2
there are four options for the maximize operation: conservative,
available, absolute and xinerama, and the "available" option do not
cover windows with the "dont-cover" attribute, like the
gnome-panel.
I have tested it and it does work with gnome-panel. But it does not
work with the iconbox, for instance, even when its stacking is set
to "on top" as sugested by Shish. In fact it does not wor
irrespective of the stacking setting of the window. What the "on
top" stacking makes is keep the window on top of other windows,
maybe covering part of other windows, but never being covered.
This makes me believe that the "dont-cover" attribute is not the
same as the "stacking: on top" attribute.
Maybe somebody could clarify this topic for us.
You are right, it is a different attribute. In e16 this window
attribute can be set using eesh, e.g.:
$ eesh wop Iconbox never_use_area on
Unfortunately, this setting is not remembered atm.
This happens to be almost the exact problem I joined the mailing list to
ask about, but somehow (maybe inertia) never got around to actually
posting; there is, however one difference.
I'm using e16 under Debian sid, and from the first time I did so,
certain windows - gkrellm and the pager - exhibited this never_use_area
behaviour; then (about three months ago) I ran apt-get upgrade and
suddenly the behaviour was no longer present. Does anyone have any idea
as to either why the behaviour seemed to be automatic before, or what
changed to cause it to cease? I can work around the problem now, by
giving the above command for each desired window in my .xsession file,
but I'd still rather know what happened.
While I'm here: a couple of other desirable behaviours changed at the
same time - notably the fact that the "Switch to desktop where dialog
appears" setting under Pager Settings now appears to be applied to
*every* window, despite the fact that that toggle is set to off. It's
somewhat less aggravating than the other issue, but I'd still rather
avoid it; any ideas what changed, as above, and/or how to fix it?.
