Bug Description

Binary package hint: gjots2

When starting gjots2 from the cli it appears the y coordinate is ignored. For example:

gjots2 -g 700x700

produces a frame where xwininfo report "-geometry 700x192+5+46"

gjots2 -g 400x900-0-0

produces a frame of -geometry 400x192+5+46

It also does not save the y coordinate on exit. When I manually resize the window (dragging with the mouse) to -geometry 940x644+5+46 and close, then reopen, it is sized as -geometry 940x192+5+46

It consistently maintains the x coordinate and resets the y to 192.

I just noticed in the man page the X and Y are not presently being used. That could be the problem :)

Maybe this isn't a bug but a feature request.

I have uploaded 2.3.8 to my Hardy PPA. It should be safe to try in any release from hardy to karmic. Please try and let us know if that version has the same problem as you reported.

The man page still says that the xy coordinates are ignored. I'm not sure but I interpreted the test I just did to take those into account after all.

My last test with 2.4.1 shows this problem to be fixed
