Re: FVWM: FvwmWinList is shifting left on me

I have similar problems (posted on 19 Sept); the problem is that the
amount of shift is related to borderwidth, and is not easy to
reproduce. I have had the "greatest success" with some simple tk
activity, but have been unable to really locate the problem (though it
seems related to the "#define BW 1" in fvwm.h (2.0.45 and 2.0.46) and
the state of the XWindowChanges xwc object.

I have spent several hours in gdb and wish trying to track this down,
but get stopped trying to watch X events without freezing my machine.
(And then I get distracted by sleep, spouse, and bodily functions)

simplest demonstration (in Tcl/Tk):

$ wish
% wm geometry .
200x200+103+219
% wm geometry . +107+200
% wm geometry .
200x200+107+200
% winfo x .
106
% winfo y .
199
% wm geometry . +107+200
% winfo x .
200
% winfo x .
107
% exit
$

So where did the lost pixel go?? And why was it found after the
second
    wm geometry . +107+200
which did NOT move the stuff displayed on the screen!

Donald.
