Description stephen 2003-11-08 14:03:03 UTC

Version:            (using KDE KDE 3.1.93)
Installed from:    Gentoo Packages
Compiler:          gcc-3.3.2-r2 -mcpu=athlon-xp -O3 -pipe
OS:          Linux

Apps like tkconch and leo which use the Tk toolkit don't have a maximize button present.

When I start up kde3.1, the maximize button is there.

Please attach output from 'xprop' for the windows.

Comment 2 stephen 2003-11-12 00:36:39 UTC

Typing "xprop" on a konsole session and selecting the leo window makes this output:

Comment 3 Lubos Lunak 2003-11-12 09:53:41 UTC

As you can see in the output, the window specifies maximum size. Windows with maximum size limited cannot be maximized.

Comment 4 stephen 2003-11-12 14:08:58 UTC

Interesting. I can see that the maximum horizontal size is less than the program specified maximum size. 

The maximize button is present with kde-3.1.4. Is this something just getting enforced? 

It must be some kind of Tk default that people never change, because all of the tk apps seem to have the same max size.

Comment 5 Lubos Lunak 2003-11-13 12:41:15 UTC

KWin in 3.1.4 didn't disable the button with maximum size specified, yes. Only the new KWin does. E.g. even though the specified maximum size may be larger than screen size, the screen size may change (xrandr), and after that, it really won't be possible to maximize the window without disobeying the maximum size. Tk should not do that.

Comment 6 stephen 2003-11-13 13:59:36 UTC

Thanks for the explanation. I agree.

Yep, this is a Tk bug.  Looking into it:

Now fixed in the CVS HEAD of Tk.  The patch at SourceForge can also be applied to Tk 8.4.5 / 8.4.6.
