Hi everyone, I am writing because of the following bug report: https://github.com/awesomeWM/awesome/issues/425 The problem boils down to the following question: If a reparenting WM has a non-zero border width (in the XConfigureWindow sense), should that border be included in the values of _NET_FRAME_EXTENTS? For a concrete example, let's assume a client window of size WxH. The WM reparents this window into a window of the same size and sets the border width of the frame window to 10. Should _NET_FRAME_EXTENTS be set to "0,0,0,0" or to "10,10,10,10"? Also, does it make sense to clarify this in the spec, or am I just missing something obvious? Is there someone who has the knowledge and time to write a patch? Thanks a lot, Uli -- If you have to type the letters "A-E-S" into your source code, you're doing it wrong.
