Re: FVWM: FvwmWinList is shifting left on me

Oops.

Forgot to mention that things move because many of the progs that I've
seen do the equivalent of the winfo x and winfo y to get current
coordinates while building a changes struct to pass to the wm. Of
course, if wm has a different geometry, then a move "to the same
place" results in [at least] a one pixel shift left and up. (Because
if they really were the same, the wm ignores the new location request,
but processes the rest of the Changes struct, which is what it is
supposed to do.)

This is most irritating in T.A.Phelps' tkman and Module FvwmIconMan
(which I would dearly like to change from

*FvwmIconMan*1*managergeometry 1x15-388-2

to

*FvwmIconMan*1*managergeometry 0x0-388-2

but it wanders)

Donald.
