Description Michael Meeks 2012-01-30 08:52:23 UTC

The gtk+ guys kindly added this method. We really need it for the gtk3 port.

Checkout vcl/unx/gtk/app/gtksys.cxx (GetDisplayScreenWorkAreaPosSizePixel)

which has a dummy implementation.

This should instead dlopen ourselves, and look for the above symbol and use it if it is there. Checkout the _get_primary_monitor implementation shortly above that for a (more complicated) template to work from.

Thanks ! :-)

adding LibreOffice developer list as CC to unresolved EasyHacks for better visibility.

see e.g. http://nabble.documentfoundation.org/minutes-of-ESC-call-td4076214.html for details

Comment 3 Martin Owens 2014-07-27 00:41:44 UTC

The code appears to have moved and now exists here:

vcl/unx/gtk/window/gtksalframe.cxx:2105

The code appears to take account of gtk3 and it may already be fixed. 

For gtk2 we have a dummy 1024x768 rect being returned with a warning. Is the gtk2 implementation the problem or has it been fixed?
