Re: kwin fullscreen

Hi!

I tested now the ogle release candidate and "it" (when toggling to full 
screen in kwin the output window disappears) still happens...

This works as far as the output window does not disappear. But the 
geometry is wrong, the picture is aligned to top, left and right, but 
on bottom there are about 150 lines of black pixels missing (there 
usually are the black stripes around a movie, it seems the upper one is 
missing and the picture starts directly at top). If a screenshot would 
help you, I can do one. I see in the sources that there already some 
x/y adjustments for broken wm's - kwin should be added there :-)

$ kwin --version
Qt: 3.1.1
KDE: 3.1.0
KWin: 0.95

Hm... I guess the kwin developers forgot to increase the version? 
Because I'm sure that this didn't happen in 3.0.x, only since 3.1 (and 
also in 3.1rc's). And I'm sure it is kwin's fault because when I kill 
kwin before ogle start I need no sleep(1) (but still the geometry is 
wrong like above).

Hm... there is only a "KWIN_RUNNING" in kwin/atoms.c but I guess nearly 
all users have updated or will soon update to 3.1 so maybe it would be 
nice to do

if(kwin_is_running(dpy))
 sleep(1);

before the XMapWindow calls.

Greets,
