Description Bruce Salem 2010-07-08 07:38:53 UTC
Version:           unspecified (using KDE 1.2) 
OS:                Linux

I know these are all downrev, but something like geometry problems are being
reported in recent bugs. The bug was coming from a perl system() call that execed the following string: "kuickshow --geometry +200+200 somefile.jpg" and did not return an error to the perl script I use Gnome, but I logged out, changed my session to KDE 4 and tested, same result.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
Run the above string from the shell. I have verified this.

Actual Results:  
The client upper left corner was not shifted to the right and down by 200 pixels, it was at +0+0, I know that size is something like <width>x<height> in pixels for the --geometry argument.

Expected Results:  
I expect the client to be offset from the upper left corner of the display.

Known issue, might be fixed for KDE 4.10, see bug #165355.

Since it's not exactly a duplicate, we'll close it as wont-fix, since kuickshow is an application that does not exist anymore in KDE 4. Still, the situation improves with KDE 4.10, there the geometry option will correctly support the offsets.

It's true that it's not very well maintained, but it does exist for  KDE 4. 
See the extragear page.
