Dock position trouble

[Mattia Tavernini]

* Cairo-Dock version: 2.2.1~0alpha1(but I've tried other versions from 2.0.6 and everytime I've this problem)
* Platform: debian sid i386
* DE: Gnome 2.30
* Driver: Intel i915, xserver-xorg-video-intel 2:2.12.0+shadow-2

* In a fresh installation of cairo-dock, without anything saved in ~/.config, the dock not recognize properly the screen border, when started. Left corner position is the only one that goes right, others are really compressed near North-East corner. With or without OpenGL doesn't change this trouble. Tell me if you want more infos, I attach here some picture to show you the situation.

Hi,
thanks for the many screenshots. It looks as if the dock can't get the real
screen size, not sure why.
do you use Compiz or Metacity ? did you try with the other one ?
Also in the dock's config, in "Position", does everything look correct (no
offset) ?

Hi Fab!

I use mutter 2.31 (from experimental): switching to metacity 2.30 and my problem remains the same. In "position" offsets are the default ones, I've tried to change something into them, but there is no way to set the dock better than last screenshots.

I try also to set compiz as WM and in effect borders (and screen size) are properly recognized with it.
Tell me if you want more info!

[Fabounet (fabounet03)]

thanks for the details.
so it works well with Compiz, but not with Metacity/Mutter ?
could you please do a xwininfo on the dock ? (type xwininfo in a terminal,
and then click on the dock)

also, do you think you could compile the sources ? it's quite easy since we
have a script for that. I'd like you to uncomment the debug prints in the
functions cairo_dock_move_resize_dock, _move_resize_dock and
cairo_dock_get_window_position_at_balance, i nthe file
cairo-dock-core/src/gldit/cairo-dock-dock-facility.c
it would be very helpful I think !

This is the first xwininfo, with dock and plugins from your ppa, working on mutter 2.31 ...

[Mattia Tavernini (maathias)]

I've modified cairo-dock-dock-facility.c like you asked me (I hope to have do it right) , then started the dock with debug flag ... Here you are.

[Mattia Tavernini (maathias)]

Forgot to tell you that I've compiled the dock without your script, just with

dpkg-buildpackage -us -uc -b

[Fabounet (fabounet03)]

thanks a lot !
it seems as if there was a 1 pixel vertical offset, so could you please try
to add in the config a small vertical offset ?
you can try with +2 and with -2 and see if it changes something. Maybe
Metacity can't handle negative coordinates.
also to be sure, could you add the following line in the function
cairo_dock_get_window_position_at_balance after the 2 prints (around line
292):
g_print ("pDock->iGapY = %d\n", pDock->iGapY);

[Mattia Tavernini (maathias)]

-2 /+2 vertical offsets with mutter/metacity don't change anything... Now xserver-xorg-video-intel has been updated from unstable repos (2:2.13.0-2 ) but nothing new was happened.

I've tried to rebuild cairo-dock with your function added (g_print ("pDock->iGapY = %d\n", pDock->iGapY); @ line 292). Hope this will help you.

[Fabounet (fabounet03)]

thanks for the debug !
it's definitely weird :-/
maybe a bug in Metacity/Mutter (both actually share the same code), since
there is no problem with Compiz.
what if you try to move the dock manually, with ALT+left-click ?

[Mattia Tavernini (maathias)]

Nothing happens, if I try to move the dock with Alt+LeftClick.

Sad: so I can't use cairo-dock without compiz for now...

Ok, if something changes with mutter/metacity upgrade I'll report it here.

Thank you!

[Fabounet (fabounet03)]

I think you should report it to the Mutter devs, because obviously something
is different from Compiz, and maybe they can either fix it, or give a
workaround.

http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=602949

I've seen that also conky suffers the same problem... So it's probably a trouble in WM and not in cairo-dock itself, as you told me.

[Mattia Tavernini (maathias)]

Ok, I've found what's wrong in my configuration: I had set the
gconf-key

/apps/metacity/general/disable_workarounds

to true. Moving it to false make cairo-dock and others applications work
correctly.

[Fabounet (fabounet03)]

thanks for sharing the solution, we'll add it to the wiki :-)
