• Bug#1070008: xfce4-panel: fails to reserve space (in fluxbox)

    From Francesco Poli (wintermute)@21:1/5 to All on Sun Apr 28 16:10:01 2024
    Package: xfce4-panel
    Version: 4.18.4-1
    Severity: normal

    Hello there!
    Thanks for maintaining this package in Debian.

    I am trying xfce4-panel as a panel for my fluxbox based desktop:
    I start it with the following command

    $ xfce4-panel --disable-wm-check --sm-client-disable &

    It works well, except for one issue.
    If, in the Panel Properties, I choose to "Never" automatically hide the
    panel and I check "Reserve space on screen edges for the panel", I
    fail to see the intended effect. I mean: maximized windows still cover
    the area behind the panel.

    The panel is attached to the bottom screen edge.

    Please investigate and fix the bug and/or forward my bug report upstream,
    as appropriate.

    Thanks for your time!
    Bye.
