[Bitpim-devel] Window position/size saving

[Roger B. <ro...@ro...>]

I have found one tiny problem which is that wxWidgets (on Windows anyway)
doesn't know about multiple monitors.  It only returns information about
the first monitor.

It also looks like wx.GetClientDisplayRect should be called to get the
area of the screen that isn't covered in start bars etc.  For example
this is the output on my 1600x1200 monitor:

>>> wx.GetDisplaySize()
wxSize(1600, 1200)
>>> wx.GetClientDisplayRect()     # taskbar at the bottom
wxRect(0, 0, 1600, 1168)
>>> wx.GetClientDisplayRect()     # taskbar on right side
wxRect(0, 0, 1495, 1200)
>>> wx.GetClientDisplayRect()     # on the top
wxRect(0, 32, 1600, 1168)         

On Linux with a Gnome desktop, GetClientDisplayRect just returns the
same numbers as GetDisplaySize.

Maybe you want to use this in the heuristics for sizing and placement.
