Re: [Xnee-devel] [Fwd: AW: AW: [sr #103871] Verifying GUI-Testresults with xnee using theTool "xgrabsc"]

NOooh,

I missed to take the (ICCCM-compliant) WM's gravity into account. Will
hack some more.

Xnee can move (during replay) an xterm window launched like this (during
recording):
        xterm -geometry +10+10  

but not if started like this:
        xterm -geometry -10-10  



/h
