Re: Initial window placement

[Philipp Lohmann <Philipp Lohmann Sun COM>]

Hi,

So how about something like this in a spec update:

_NET_WM_FRAME_GEOMETRY, x, y, width, height, CARDINAL[4]/32

If this property is set on a window the window manager SHOULD place the 
frame at the indicated root window coordinates and size the frame to the 
indicated size. The client window in this case will be shrunk to fit the 
decoration. If the minwidth/height and/or maxwidth/height in the 
WM_NORMAL_HINTS are specified and do not allow the frame geometry to be 
met including decorations, then the frame geometry will be adjusted 
according to the win_gravity field of WM_NORMAL_HINTS. The window manager 
SHOULD update this property on the window if it was set at the time the 
window was mapped first.

Regards, Philipp
