Comment 13 for bug 1633284

I believe I have a fix. The cause is apparently Gtk reporting a screen size of (0, 0). Onboard couldn't handle that before. I've added plausibility checks at two locations and some additional debug output.

If you can, please try installing the latest revision from source and see if the problem is gone. There's are some instructions for Arch in the README at

https://bazaar.launchpad.net/~onboard/onboard/trunk/view/head:/README#L98

but they might be a bit outdated by now. If you get stuck, let me know.

If you managed to build it and the problem hasn't disappeared, please run
onboard -ddebug &>onboard-debug.txt
and attach the file here.
