Re: Wrapped GdkWindow* resize issues

[Kjell Ahlstedt <kjell ahlstedt bredband net>]

I found some info at https://developer.gnome.org/gdk2/2.24/ and subpages. Don't know if it's relevant.

#define gdk_window_get_size            gdk_drawable_get_size

From the description of gdk_drawable_get_size():

On the X11 platform, if drawable is a GdkWindow, the returned size is the size reported in the most-recently-processed configure event, rather than the current size on the X server.

From the description of gdk_window_get_geometry():

On the X11 platform, the geometry is obtained from the X server, so reflects the latest position of window; this may be out-of-sync with the position of window delivered in the most-recently-processed GdkEventConfigure. gdk_window_get_position() in contrast gets the position from the most recent configure event.
