Problem:
wm.test – wm-geometry-2.1 fails under Ubuntu
Question:
How to obtain Ubuntu’s left top edge of the screen?
Explenation:
I’ve encountered strange behavior of wm geometry x and x coordination in Ubuntu (8.04 Gnome)
== wm-geometry-2.1 setting values FAILED
== Contents of test case:
wm geometry .t 150×150+50+50
update
lappend result [wm geometry .t]
wm geometry .t {}
update
lappend result [string equal [wm geometry .t] "150×150+50+50"]
Result was:
150×150+55+74 0
-- Result should have been (exact matching):
150×150+50+50 0
As test wm-geometry-2.1 (wm.test) fails in this environment, I checked and for following code
>toplevel .t
>wm geometry .t 200×200+0+0
>wm geometry .t
it returns 200×200+5+24
In Ubuntu’s default settings GNOME Panel consists of 2 panels: top one and bottom one. Both height is 24 pixels and this is where 24 px come from, but those 5 of height are inexplicable.
-If I move panel to the left it sometimes reacts 200×200+5+24 (even after rebooting) and sometimes returns 200×200+30+24
-If I move the top panel on the right, wm geometry .t still shows the same results, but the widget itself moves up those 24px that panel took

-If I get back, the results now increase to 200×200+5+49

To make it worse, it always (no matter what I do)
> wm geometry .t 150×150-0-0
> wm geometry .t
>150×150—5—24
On the live CD with default settings
>toplevel .t
>wm geometry .t 200×200+0+0
>wm geometry .t
it returns 200×200+5+49
As this happens only on Ubuntu, should this be taken care in the test?
I tried to find out if any parameter corresponds somehow with the results (so that I could count the tktest result), but with no effect.
