python - What should a Window Manager do with a ConfigureRequestEvent? -

-

for sins (and fun learning experience) writing window manager (i know, know).

i'm using python , xcb (python-xpyb).

so far have figured out need use substructureredirect mask on root window(s), , being passed events related applications' top-level windows. i'm testing launching xterm.

i configurerequestevent, followed pause, followed configurerequestevent, , maprequestevent.

when maprequestevent call connection.core.mapwindowchecked(e.window), works, maps window pixel or 2 wide/tall.

my question, then, should configurerequestevent make window correct size (assuming thats i'm missing)?

more accurately, call? mapwindowchecked obvious choice, can't seem find how configure width/height. i'm guessing configurewindow, arguments accepts seem obscure me. last time called used xcb.xproto.cw.eventmask, none of flags in cw seem related width/height.

ps documentation on of seems quite elusive me. i've looked @ couple of python window managers supposedly use xcb, , seem use own custom versions functionality. also, examining/debugging running window manager (which responsible mapping debugger's window) pita, hence asking here. better use 2 machines or vm or something.

thanks.

the short answer configure window (size, stacking, etc.) calling configurewindow. long answer here impose policy , honor specs such xsizehints. best have @ existing wms' source , sense of do. depends on desired ui.

the simplest thing working configurewindow request asks no policy or hint overrides. you'll see lots of usability problems , have add more smarts.

so i've got simple form in canvas / iframe facebook app, , i'm trying pass along values post. reading on s.o. , fb's latest docs, understand it, data send via post form can accessed on receiving end $_request object. i read on thread on s.o. in order post forms work need pass along input named "signed_request" value current signed_request (i have signed request working ok otherwise...all login , authentication stuff working fine). isnt mentioned anywhere in official fb docs. so problem comes in $_request object signed request, , bunch of other session stuff. form inputs found. the way can read them set method of form "request" isn't real form method. takes of inputs , sends them args in url. horrible. here's sample page canvas app form i'm using try debug (leaving out authentication stuff): <form enctype="application/x-www-form-urlencoded" method="post" target="_top" id="my_form" action=...
