Subject: xaos: Only applies to fixed-size windows managers

Date: Wed, 21 Nov 2007 17:52:30 +0100

Package: xaos
Version: 3.2-6
Followup-For: Bug #452284


Hello,

sorry for the precipitant bug report. I just found out that the reason
was not the amd64 architecture, but my window manager. I use
ion3/particleman. xaos seems to be offended by the size restrictions it
gets from my wm. It works if I start xaos in detached mode and then
attach it to a fixed-size frame.

Christopher

Yes, I have seen this occasionally too with ion. It also works to start
it initially in a smaller frame.
