What were you trying to do?
Set the geometry of the virtual desktop.
What's wrong:
A negative specification, i.e. -15+200, acts like --15+200.
This means that it moves the right edge 15 pixels past the right edge
of the screen. The behaviour is inverted.
What should have happened:
You know what should have happened, of course.
Please describe any relevant documentation references:
Should be an easy problem. I ain't no X programmer, I can tell
you that.
BTW, the problem is easily worked around by using --15+200. Like I
said, the behaviour is actually inverted.
All the machine info in the header is utterly irrelevant. I built
vtwm.gamma myself on a SPARCstation 1 in LCS. But the bug is the same
on bonafide athena platforms also.
