Description Tommy Yu 2005-06-12 21:37:18 UTC

When running gdmthemetester with the XNESTSIZE environment variable set, it is
supposed to show the theme taking the full window, but turns out it is stuck at
a reduced size, not filling the entire window from the top left to bottom right.
A fix is to do the commented change below in /usr/bin/gdmthemetester at line 75:

if [ "x$XNESTSIZE" = x ] ; then
  eval `gdmXnest -b -o "-terminate"`
else
  eval `gdmXnest -b -o "-geometry $XNESTSIZE -terminate"`
fi
#eval `gdmXnest -b` # remove this line
export DISPLAY

After making this change, the theme tester will occupy the entire window.

Unable to reproduce your issue with the current stable version of GDM.  Please ensure that you do 'export XNESTSIZE="1024x768" ; gdmthemetester console happygnome'.  The variable defines the size of the window in which the xnest is suppose to render.
