[Konsole-devel] Programmatically Moving a konsole window doesn't work correctly

[Adam Batkin]

Here's a weird one that I'm wondering if anyone else can reproduce or 
shed some light on: Programatically moving a konsole window (using 
xdotool or wmctrl) move the window to the wrong place.

My DE is actually XFCE, but I'm using Konsole. All other apps that I 
have tried (including a bunch of other KDE apps like konqueror) seem to 
work fine.

Specifically, if I run xwininfo, I would expect that the proper 
coordinates of the window to be:
x = Absolute upper-left X - Relative upper-left X
y = Absolute upper-left Y - Relative upper-left Y

So for example, if I have a window with these settings as reported by 
xwininfo:
   Absolute upper-left X:  800
   Absolute upper-left Y:  327
   Relative upper-left X:  3
   Relative upper-left Y:  22

Then my realX = 800 - 3 = 797
And my realY = 327 - 22 = 305

So if I run "xdotool windowmove 0xWHATEVER 797 305" or "wmctrl -i -r 
0xWHATEVER -e 0,797,305,-1,-1" then I would expect the window to remain 
in the same place. And this works correctly for every application EXCEPT 
konsole. Konsole will remain if I instead use the Absolute coordinates 
(in my example 800,327). Since every application reports a non-zero pair 
of relative coordinates (I assume they account for the width of the 
border/titlebar) I'm assuming that my math is correct.

Very weird. Ideas?
