Description Ivan Zakharyaschev 2011-08-08 23:45:02 MSK 
xfwm4-4.8.1-alt1 in Simply Linux beta of 2011-06-20 on an Asus small notebook (NoteBook PC / S200)

Some windows are longer than the height of the screen when started (some configuration tools, Emacs); and this is very inconvenient (almost makes the configuration tools unusable).

It would be nice if the window manager would force the windows to fit the height.

The screen dimensions reported by xdpyinfo:

  dimensions:    1024x600 pixels (270x158 millimeters)

An example is Emacs -- https://bugzilla.altlinux.org/show_bug.cgi?id=26010 .
Emacs is not a big problem however: it can be maximized to be forced to fit into the screen.

The case of gdmsetup -- https://bugzilla.altlinux.org/show_bug.cgi?id=26011 -- is much worse: simply forcing a size by the window manager (e.g., maximizing the window) wouldn't help, because in the gdmsetup window there is no way to scroll and see what's there at the bottom.
