-geometry position ignored

[himdel]

When I run rxvt-unicode -geometry 105x55+3+30 with tabbedex, only the 105x55 portion is respected, the position is ignored. Removing tabbedex fixes it. I have no idea why that happens.

(This affects both the stepb version and the mina86 fork.)

Actually, even the size part is handled wrong:

Running rxvt-unicode -geometry 80x25 and then xwininfo on the window yields 80x25 when tabbedex is off but 79x24 when on. So, an off by one somewhere?

I know this is an ancient bug, but I've been encountering the same bug. I wanted to share that urxvt-tabbed has the same issue with ignoring window position, so it might be an 'upstream' bug that urxvt-tabbedex inherited.

Why is this still open? I've tried a lot of things, but nothing works. I know it is my fault, but what am I missing? Posting files and options is useless since it may be anything. I'm on openSUSE Leap 42.3 with a 4.4.138-59-default kernel running an Xfce 4.12 window manager.

This repository isn’t maintained. See https://github.com/mina86/urxvt-tabbedex/. Specifically regarding -geometry it got various fixes around that so it may work for you. There’s still mina86#44 open so some issues remain.
