Hi,

pekwm currently does not handle _NET_WM_STRUT very well (it only supports _NET_WM_STRUT_PARTIAL I believe).

From http://standards.freedesktop.org/wm-spec/1.3/ar01s05.html

This property is equivalent to a _NET_WM_STRUT_PARTIAL property where all start values are 0 and all end values are the height or width of the logical screen. _NET_WM_STRUT_PARTIAL was introduced later than _NET_WM_STRUT, however, so clients MAY set this property in addition to _NET_WM_STRUT_PARTIAL to ensure backward compatibility with Window Managers supporting older versions of the Specification.

Although it's not necessary, some WMs (like Fluxbox) still only support _NET_WM_STRUT. This means that programs that want to maintain backward compatibility must use _NET_WM_STRUT.

This is a follow-up to http://code.google.com/p/tint2/issues/detail?id=28#c7. The problem is that if _NET_WM_STRUT is sent to pekwm before _NET_WM_STRUT_PARTIAL is sent, the application doesn't appear. If only _NET_WM_STRUT_PARTIAL is sent, the application works.

So pekwm doesn't have to support _NET_WM_STRUT necessarily, but it would be nice if it properly ignores it so it can receive _NET_WM_STRUT_PARTIAL.

Cheers, Daniel
