this would seem to be at odds with bug #699. how would we express the difference between shrinking the display size and resizing the viewport?

Erm... the screen size is not being changed when resizing the window. You only get scrollers if the screen size is larger than the window. The idea is that the applications won't detect any change (otherwise this will become horrible compliciated. X clients in Xvnc won't detect any size changes of the VNC output window either). Roland, we have discussed the briefly on the phone. I think adding scrollbars to Xnest (and making it depend on a toolkit) may not be the solution. Why not write a small wrapper application which starts Xnest passes its command line arguments creates its own window reparents Xnest to it and adds scrollbars when needed? WONTFIX. Xnest -parent plus a wrapper app can do this just fine. |
