Bug Description

I noticed that after attaching an external monitor, which causes the resolution of my desktop to go from 1024x768 to 1280x1024, the icons on the avant window manager are in the wrong position, as though they are stuck on their old location (See screenshot). The icons sometimes reappear at the right position after an indeterminate period (could be seconds, could be half an hour).

I think I managed to fix the issue by forcing a location update after screen resize. See attached debdiff.

This is for hardy, I haven't checked yet how the situation is on intrepid.

It's certainly a minimal patch. Anyone want to test it?

Here is some info on how I could consistently reproduce the glitch (which may help with testing)

* start avant-window-manager on laptop without external monitor plugged (screen resolution 1024x768)
* plug external monitor
* run in terminal
xrandr --output LVDS --mode 1024x768 --output VGA --mode 1280x1024 --above LVDS

In this case LVDS is the laptop screen and VGA is the external monitor
This will turn on the external display and cause avant-window-manager to jump there, with the icons in the wrong position.

I apply the patch and build a package for Intrepid on my PPA (https://edge.launchpad.net/~gilir/+archive). Could someone can test the new package and see if the bug still here ?

Thanks.

At least, I can confirm that when you change the resolution of the screen, the bar and icons are now together after the resize.

For me, the problem persists with the latest packages from the repositories. See the screenshot.

Thanks for the test. Could you just confirm the version of the package you used, I want to be sure your using the right package (because I mess up versions in my PPA earlier).

Thanks.
