Subject: xterm: overlaps with the Gnome panel when maximized
Date: Fri, 07 Jan 2005 11:33:49 +0100
Package: xterm
Version: 4.3.0.dfsg.1-8
Severity: normal
Xterm fails to maximize correctly (at least in Gnome 2.8 / Metacity
2.8.6-1). The top of the Xterm is well aligned on the Gnome top panel
but the Xterm bottom goes behind the Gnome bottom panel (about the half
of the last text line). The vertical maximum size seems to be computed wrongly.
There is no problem in the horizontal direction.
It is worth noting that I'm using anti-aliased fonts in my Xterms. Here
are the X attributes I use:
xterm*foreground: Black
xterm*background: White
xterm*color3: Orange3
xterm.eightBitInput: true
xterm*multiScroll: on
xterm*jumpScroll: on
xterm*scrollKey: on
xterm*scrollTtyOutput: off
xterm*faceName: Lucida Console
xterm*faceSize: 8
xterm*ScrollBar: on
xterm*SaveLines: 2000
xterm.eightBitOutput: true
xterm*charClass: 33:48,37:48,45-47:48,58:32,64:32

Description:
xterm - X terminal emulator
Closes: 289123319179334317
Changes:
xterm (208-1) unstable; urgency=low
.
* New upstream release (patchlevel #208). Main changes follow:
- Implement logic in termcap query to process multiple parameters as
documented in ctlseqs.ms
- Fix buffer size used for termcap query, which was not long enough for
the terminfo "colors" name.
- Add menu entry (alt-esc) and corresponding action (alt-sends-esc) to
toggle the eightBitInput resource setting.
- Modify computation of rows/columns on resize to avoid extending beyond
the given limits, e.g., if resizing in response to a "maximize" in
Gnome or KDE which do not use the window manager hints for this case
(closes: #289123).
- Improve error-reporting when chown/chmod of the pseudo-terminal fails.
- Several changes in the control sequences.
- Improvements in the configure script.
- Eliminate a retry for a better-matching bold font, to work around
recent font server changes.
- Specify weight for wide font which may be derived from normal
fontname.
- Cache the derived wide- and widebolt- fontnames.
- Modify resource files to make the font-resources a little more specific,
e.g., changing "*VT100*" to "*VT100.", to make the distinction between
VT100.font and VT100.utf8Fonts.font sharper, in case a packager modifies
one of those.
- Expanded comments in UXTerm.ad regarding the font resources (closes:
#319179).
- Add --enable-narrowproto configure option to accommodate Xorg "modular"
build.
- Add scrollBarBorder resource.
- Fix a file-descriptor leak when calling openpty().
- A hard reset also resets the 132/80 mode.
- Restore window manager hints after XtMakeResizeRequest() calls.
- Scroll-down is allowed to be sent while mouse tracking is enabled.
- Correct size-comparison in HandleInterpret() broken in changes from
patch #201 to allocate input buffer (closes: #334317).
- Upstream merged Debian patches 001 and 002 for typos in xterm.
- Added setuid options.
- add charClass resource to XTerm.ad and UXTerm.ad which simplifies
selecting URLs
- make -iconic option work with toolbar configuration
- fix memory reallocation for the "UTF-8" menu entry when xterm is started
using the +u8 option
* Debian patches 900 and 901 resynced.
