xfwm does not respect the aspect ratio of tvtime everytime.
With mplayer which also sets a aspect ratio there no problems.
Comment 1 Olivier Fourdan editbugs 2004-05-03 21:23:48 CEST
What does xprop says?

from a terminal run xprop, click on the tvtime window, and look for aspect
ratio:

WM_NORMAL_HINTS(WM_SIZE_HINTS):
program specified minimum aspect ratio: 300/300
program specified maximum aspect ratio: 300/300

If an aspect ration is given by xprop and xfwm4 doesn't use it, then it's a
bug in xfwm4, otherwise, it's a bug in the application.

output from xprop while xfwm not respecting aspect ratio:
WM_NORMAL_HINTS(WM_SIZE_HINTS):

program specified maximum aspect ratio: 427/320

Just to make sure, what version of xfce do you use?

Also, I can't reproduce the problem using tvtime 0.9.12 with xfwm4 (from CVS,
but that should make no difference)

Comment 4 schibalsky 2004-05-04 13:04:43 CEST
xfce 4.0.5
Xfree 4.3.0.1
tvtime 0.9.12
gtk 2.4.0
all compiled with gcc 3.3.3
The problem occurs totally random,and xfwm respects aspect ratio ca 70% when I
start tvtime.When i restart tvtime xfwm might respect it,again total randomly.
I had the problem in previous versions of xfce too,but I can't remember
exactly which version.
As I said above with mplayer the problem never occured.

Beside all my desesperate attempts to reproduce this bug, I really can't.

Comment 6 schibalsky 2004-05-05 20:00:52 CEST
hmmmm,
maybe it's specific to my hardware and/or combination of software/compiler
that I use...
It's just a little annoying...,xfwm4 respecting aspect ratio is one reason why
I use xfce :-)

Comment 9 schibalsky 2004-07-15 17:08:39 CEST
Hi,
I checked just with the released 4.0.6 version,
and the problem seems to be solved now :-) .
