Hey xmonad community, Simon PJ is running xmonad in xnest, for the upcoming OSCON Haskell tutorial, and we've noticed xnest seems to crop the edge of the screen - or misreport its size: http://www.cse.unsw.edu.au/~dons/tmp/screen-spj.png Anyone seen this, running xmonad in xnest, or know how to fix it? -- Don simonpj:
Phew! I think I managed a screen shot. Notice that xclock is truncated at the right, and both windows are truncated at the bottom. Help earnestly desired! Thanks
Simon

Thanks.
While I think about it, I have a scaling problem, at least when using xnest. The right hand strip and bottom strip of each window is truncated -- e.g. the xterm window material disappears below the bottom of the displayed window. And xclock doesn't fit.
Any idea what that might be? I could send you a screenshot. Maybe xmonad thinks the display area is bigger than it is?
Yeah, a screen shot. What geometry is the xnest screen? Also, which version of xmonad are you using?
Can you manually enlarge the Xnest window? Xnest chooses a screen geometry when it starts and always reports this geometry to clients -- even if the actual containing window is smaller. Running 'xdpyinfo' inside Xnest will report the geometry it desires.
