Bug#4267: xosview doesn't understand -geometry very well
Package: xosview
Version: 1.3.2-1
I ran xosview with this command:
xosview -geometry 48x48+388+0 &
and indeed from xlsclients -l:
Window 0x2800002:
Machine: sfere
Name: xosview@sfere
Icon Name: xosview@sfere
Command: xosview -geometry 48x48+388+0
Instance/Class: xosview/xosview
...but (as you can see below) the window is not in the correct
position:
xwininfo: Window id: 0x2800002 "xosview@sfere"
Absolute upper-left X: 392
Absolute upper-left Y: 3
Relative upper-left X: 0
Relative upper-left Y: 0
Width: 48
Height: 48
Depth: 8
Visual Class: PseudoColor
Border width: 0
Class: InputOutput
Colormap: 0x26 (installed)
Bit Gravity State: NorthWestGravity
Window Gravity State: NorthWestGravity
Backing Store State: NotUseful
Save Under State: no
Map State: IsViewable
Override Redirect State: no
Corners: +392+3 -160+3 -160-399 +392-399
-geometry 48x48+390+1
Sometimes xosview positions itself near, but not exactly in, the right
place; sometimes it positions itself in the upper left corner of the
screen; and occasionally it even ends up in the right place.
