Bug#296592: dimensions of icons with icon border are calculated wrong




Package: xterm(200) 4.3.0.dfsg.1-10

To see the problem, set something like the following X resources:


XTerm.vt100.activeIcon: true
XTerm.vt100.iconBorderColor: sandy brown
XTerm.vt100.iconBorderWidth: >0

If you resize a newly created xterm window and then iconify it the dimensions (size and relative position) of the icon and icon title are calculated wrong. It seems that the width of the border is not included in the calculation. The icon slightly overlaps the the icon title.

This causes an endless loop of redraws of the icon title and the icon! The xterm icon does not respond and the overlapping region begins to blink each second. In some rare cases this also caused fvwm to crash in my installation.

Important: you need a window manager that supports active icons and icon borders. I used fvwm.

There is also an error in the xterm manual page: the manual page says that the default of XTerm.vt100.iconBorderWidth is 0, but at least under Debian Linux this is not true, You must explicitly set it to 0 to have no border (if you have no icon border the problem described above does not happen).
