FvwmIconMan - When embedded in FvwmButtons to create taskbar, does not obey global positioning

[MidFavila]

In FVWM 2.6.9 and early git pulls of FVWM3, the following strings would stretch FvwmIconMan across an entire instance of FvwmButtons; now, it simply does not, preferring instead to place it slightly off-centered to the left.

*TaskBarIcons: ButtonGeometry 240x24
*TaskBarIcons: MaxButtonWidth 250
*TaskBarIcons: ManagerGeometry 1x1+100+0@g

Hi @MidFavila,

Are you saying this only happens when the above FvwmIconMan config is swallowed within FvwmButtons (in which case, can you share that config as well?), or is the above config enough to reproduce the problem?

[MidFavila]

Admittedly, Thomas, I haven't tested with other configurations; if the above isn't enough to replicate the problem, below is the file used to configure my panel. Should be enough to just read it into an existing config to replicate the problem

pnlrc.txt

Hi @MidFavila

I get the same results when using fvwm-2.6.9 as I do with fvwm3. Do you have any other settings which could influence this? Are you setting EwmhBaseStruts anywhere?

[MidFavila]

The only struts I have in place are 32 pixels on the top of all screens to prevent windows from maximizing on top of the panel, and 137 pixels on the right side of DisplayPort-2 to prevent them from maximizing over my "shelf". Outside of that, I don't think I'm using any other settings that would be relevant... there's no other iconman, for example.

I've made sure to isolate all of the commands that affect each element to individual files, so the pnlrc above should contain everything for my panel and nothing else.

Hi @MidFavila

OK. Thanks. Could you attach a screenshot here (take one for all of your monitors if you can) so I can see how it's behaving?

[MidFavila]

Of course. I can also provide one for FVWM2 if it would help

I know it's not quite r/unixporn ready, but try not to judge me too harshly, haha.

Hi @MidFavila

I still can't reproduce this. Is you pull from master, does this still happen?
