#1150 ArrangeWindows function, blank area persists even after restart

[Chris Ahlstrom]

Running Fluxbox 1.3.7 on Debian Sid. If I use the ArrangeWindows function via a keystroke in keys, if there is any blank space, it becomes totally empty. It will not go away. If I do a menu "Restart" on Fluxbox, it persists. If I select another wallpaper (using feh as my background selector), it persists. The video is integrated video, but I'm using the built-in Intel on-board graphics.

You might have to elaborate on this. Maybe provide a screenshot/photo/video?

In the attachment, the top panel shows the before picture, obtained by ImageMagick import. The seconds shows the after picture, but I had to grab that using GIMP, because import yielded only the third panel. Changing the background image didn't remove the blank with with feh or fsetbg -f. Oddly enough, doing "killall conky" seems to restore the full wallpaper without a blank. So maybe it is conky interfering. Anyway, see the attachment.

Errr.... do you mean the black area in the lower left corner?
That's apparently conky which is caught in the arrangement and gets a quarter of the screen.

=> your conky config? (relevant is "own_window" and "own_window_type")

[Chris Ahlstrom]

DOH! You are correct. The top conky is a panel, and unaffected by ArrangeWindows. The side conky is "normal" (I'll have to figure out how to make it a panel and yet have the same appearance).

So, this is a non-issue for Fluxbox. If I can't figure out how to close this ticket, one of y'all can close it.
Sorry about the wasted time :-(
