Problem with BMPx

Hi,

I'm the lead developer of BMPx.

I guess this here was a typo:

gtk_widget_set_size_request (window, BASE_X_INC + 3 * BASE_X_INC,
>BASE_Y_INC + 3 * BASE_Y_INC )

and he meant:

gtk_widget_set_size_request (window, BASE_WIDTH + 3 * BASE_X_INC,
BASE_HEIGHT + 3 * BASE_Y_INC )

But even _THAT_ shrinks the window, at least vertically, in the small
testcase app you can download from here:
http://rafb.net/paste/results/QyKtVw28.txt

This is confirmed with latest stable XFWM4/XFCE4 (4.2.2)

Try playing around with it. If the above line doesn't shrink (but it will),
then try this (Note 5 * BASE_Y_INC instead of 3 * BASE_Y_INC):

gtk_widget_set_size_request (window, BASE_WIDTH + 3 * BASE_X_INC,
BASE_HEIGHT + 5 * BASE_Y_INC )

Fun.

Regards,
Milosz
