Hi,
I'm having problems with windows which open off-screen and are thus inaccessible. Until recently, I ran my laptop with an external monitor in a dual-screen configuration. Now, I'm back to a single screen, but some wine apps appear to be trying to start up elsewhere.
So, I can verify that the program is running using ps and xwininfo:
wtipton 6652 26.5 2.3 2662984 36500 ? Sl 14:04 0:25 /home/wtipton/.wine/drive_c/Program Files/PokerTracker 3/PokerTracker.exe
and
xwininfo: Window id: 0x3600022 "PokerTracker? v3.00 build 2 Database: PokerTra
cker 3 Database"
Absolute upper-left X: -1050
Absolute upper-left Y: 158
Relative upper-left X: -1050
Relative upper-left Y: 158
Width: 804
Height: 585
Depth: 24
Visual Class: TrueColor
Border width: 0

Bit Gravity State: NorthWestGravity

Corners: +-1050+158 -1526+158 -1526-281 +-1050-281
-geometry 804x585+-1050+158
and notice that the window coordinates given by xwininfo are negative.
Warnings given by wine are:
warn:win:create_window_handle error 6 creating window
warn:gdi:GDI_GetObjPtr Invalid handle (nil)
warn:gdi:GDI_GetObjPtr Invalid handle (nil)
warn:gdi:GDI_GetObjPtr Invalid handle (nil)
warn:gdi:GDI_GetObjPtr Invalid handle (nil)
warn:gdi:GDI_GetObjPtr Invalid handle (nil)
etc
After the app starts up, I can move the window onto the screen using wmctrl or xwit, but it seems as though it's too late. The app has already failed, and it's just a frozen window.
Any ideas?
Thanks
