Hello, I'm investigating an issue with running GIMP later than 2.6 under wmii window manager. The issue occurs when GIMP is being run in the stacked tiling mode, when inactive windows are collapsed to their titlebars only, and the active one is maximised to the rest of the column (see here, for example: http://img132.imageshack.us/img132/9492/nntex.png). The symptoms are the following. Right after the splash screen disappears, the main window is displayed maximised. The next window to appear, the layers toolbox, becomes maximised too, while main window collapses to the title. Next, one more toolbox appears, becomes maximised as well, simultaneously collapsing others to titlebars. Right then, the toolbox which appeared last, disappears, revealing the layers toolbox, which then disappears as well. The main window stays. Then sequence is repeated: layers toolbox appears, tools appear, disappear, layers disappear. This continues few times very quickly, and then stops, and no toolboxes are shown. Whenever I try to make them appear again, this repeats. I have a short video of the process, but I couldn't manage to record it with proper frame rate, so it doesn't look exactly as it is; however, if needed I may publish it. If I switch to the different layout, when the vertical space is divided between windows, this doesn't happen. It seems to me that toolboxes request some fixed size which is much smaller than the screen size, and when they become maximised, this size is later rejected by toolbox management code, so it tries to re-create window once more. I tried to find a place in the code I could try to debug, and, as I'm still not familiar with the code, I don't know yet where to do that. I'd be glad if someone could direct me into the right place. P.S. We've also tried to debug the issue from the WM side; the author said it doesn't seem like a problem in the WM but in GIMP. I also think that's the case; also, this problem didn't exist in 2.6 and previous versions, so obviously something's changed in GIMP code right after. P.P.S. Please Cc: me when replying, I'm not subscribed to the list. -- WBR, Andrew
