problem using stalonetray with mwm #23
Description
I want to use stalonetray with mwm.
The idea is to have a horizontal system tray window that expands when I add an applet and shrinks back when I remove the applet.
If I use the command:
stalonetray -geometry 1x1+100+100 --grow-gravity W
I get the expected behaviour:
start stalonetray: empty tray's window at X
start applet1: tray's window at X applet icon at X
start applet2: tray's window at X,X+1 applet icons at X,X+1
start applet3: tray's window at X,X+1,X+2 applet icons at X,X+1,X+2
delete applet: tray's window at X,X+1 applet icons at X,X+1
delete applet: tray's window at X applet icon at X
delete applet: empry tray's window at X
However when I use the command:
stalonetray -geometry 1x1+100+100 --grow-gravity E
I get some buggy results:
start stalonetray: empty tray's window at X
start applet1: tray's window at X applet icon at X
start applet2: tray's window at X-1,X applet icons at X(visible),X+1(not visible)
start applet3: tray's window at X-1,X,X+1 applet icons at X+1(v),X+2(nv),X+3(nv)
should be: X-2,X-1,X
delete applet: tray's window at X+2,X+3 applet icons at X+3(v),X+4(nv)
should be: X-1,X
delete applet: tray's window at X+4 applet icon at X+4(v)
should be: X
delete applet: empry tray's window at X+4
That is: the system tray window get shifted to the right and some applet icons are placed where are not visible.
I tested stalonetray with openbox and it works as expected, so the issue is with mwm.
Is there some known command line option that can be used to fix the problem?
I did try --no-shrink and --kludges fix_window_pos but it didn't help.
I observed the problem on opensuse and centos. I guess if you have access to mwm you should be able to easily reproduce the bug. If not, I can provide any trace log necessary.
