Created attachment 66636 [details] test program Version: unspecified (using KDE 4.7.2) OS: Linux The attached program sets the sizehints parameter window_gravity to staticgravity. KDE4 ignores the hint, xwininfo returns " xwininfo: Window id: 0x6600002 (has no name) Absolute upper-left X: 54 Absolute upper-left Y: 68 Relative upper-left X: 0 Relative upper-left Y: 0 Width: 200 Height: 100 Depth: 24 Visual: 0x21 Visual Class: TrueColor Border width: 0 Class: InputOutput Colormap: 0x20 (installed) Bit Gravity State: ForgetGravity Window Gravity State: StaticGravity Backing Store State: NotUseful Save Under State: no Map State: IsViewable Override Redirect State: no Corners: +54+68 -770+68 -770-600 +54-600 -geometry 200x100+54+68 " The same program under KDE 3.5 shows the window at the correct position, xwininfo returns: " xwininfo: Window id: 0x3800002 (has no name) Absolute upper-left X: 50 Absolute upper-left Y: 50 Relative upper-left X: 0 Relative upper-left Y: 0 Width: 200 Height: 100 Depth: 24 Visual Class: TrueColor Border width: 0 Class: InputOutput Colormap: 0x20 (installed) Bit Gravity State: ForgetGravity Window Gravity State: StaticGravity Backing Store State: NotUseful Save Under State: no Map State: IsViewable Override Redirect State: no Corners: +50+50 -774+50 -774-618 +50-618 -geometry 200x100+50+50 " The testproject is made with MSEide+MSEgui http://gitorious.org/mseide-msegui the testproject is here http://gitorious.org/mseuniverse/mseuniverse/trees/master/testcase/window/staticgravity Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: ./.
