Even when using the same monitor and the same WM and I didn't move the windows within one session, they sometimes open as wanted and sometimes e.g. under the panel. Indeed, I sometimes switch between WMs/DEs and sometimes I use another monitor with a different screen resolution, but the GIMP screenshot was done after using GIMP within the same openbox session, using the same monitor and resolution, without moving the GIMP window. I just closed it and opened GIMP sometime later again and the position changed. The JWM issue with QjackCtl windows is a little bit different, sometimes a QjackCtl child window opens and covers all other windows on all 4 work spaces. I very seldom experienced such an issue when using Xfce4 or GNOME2, but for JWM and openbox such issues are not that seldom, it happens several times a day. _______________________________________________ Linux-audio-user mailing list Linux-audio-user@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx http://lists.linuxaudio.org/listinfo/linux-audio-user
