[wayland] gnome window manager ignores the --geometry location request of the gnome-terminal |
gnome-terminal ignores the --geometry location requests |
|
| 2021-05-27 18:23:15 |
Péter Prőhle |
description |
The example "gnome-terminal --geometry=80x24+200+200" from the man page of gnome-terminal, does not work: while the 80x24 part of the geometry request is executed, the location +200+200 is overridden by the automatic positioning of new windows by the "Gnome Shell".
"--geometry=GEOMETRY Set the window size as COLSxROWS+X+Y. For example, 80x24 or 80x24+200+200."
The "+X+Y" part is ignored since I upgraded from 20.10 to 21.04 yesterday, just 4 hours after the official release. |
The more gnome-specific and detailed bug description:
the gnome-terminal either ignores or misinterprets the
--geometry=+0+0 , --geometry=+0-0 , --geometry=-0+0 and --geometry=-0-0
requests, while mate-terminal executes the correct positioning in the same environment (display manager and window manager).
In case of Wayland, the gnome-terminal ignores the requests listed above, while mate-terminal is correctly positioned, in contrary to the urban legend, that under Wayland such a positioning is imposibble.
In case of Xorg, the gnome-terminal positions itself into the corners of the rectangle containing the physical screens, even if that corner is not inside any of the physical screens.
I.e.: in case of Xorg the gnome-terminal is ready to position itself into a not visible corner of the virtual space contaning the physical screens instead of do the same as the mate-terminal can do: to position itself into a corner of the visible physical screen.
=== The bug of gnome-terminal is that it is not able to position intself into visible corners, while the mate-terminal can do it, ... and in general the usual graphical programs can do it since the 80's.
*** The original bug description:
The example "gnome-terminal --geometry=80x24+200+200" from the man page of gnome-terminal, does not work: while the 80x24 part of the geometry request is executed, the location +200+200 is overridden by the automatic positioning of new windows by the "Gnome Shell".
"--geometry=GEOMETRY Set the window size as COLSxROWS+X+Y. For example, 80x24 or 80x24+200+200."
The "+X+Y" part is ignored since I upgraded from 20.10 to 21.04 yesterday, just 4 hours after the official release. |
