getwindowgeometry reports incorrect coordinates

[michaelgilch]

If i use:
xdotool windowmove 0 26
the window is properly moved to the far left of my screen and butted up against my 25px panel. However, if I then run
xdotool getwindowgeometry
it reports Position: 0,72

If I use windowmove to y 72, it is definitely not in the same position.

Upon further examination, and experimenting with my window decorator size and panel size, I have found the following:
Panel = 25
Window Decorator = 23
Yields:
Absolute Y Position = 49 (Panel + Window Decorator)
Relative Y Position = 23 (Offset into Workable Desktop Space)
Position 72 = Absolute Y + Relative Y (INCORRECT)
Should be
Position 26 = Absolute Y - Relative Y

Also have this issue.

For example placing a terminal window (GTK2) at 0,0 and then running "xdotool getactivewindow getwindowgeometry --shell" gives the following results:

WINDOW=73400323
X=12
Y=55
WIDTH=1442
HEIGHT=980
SCREEN=0

X, Y and HEIGHT are incorrect. Height is not including the titlebar of of the window.

With a GTK3 window at 0,0 I get the following results:

WINDOW=90177784
X=-12
Y=-11
WIDTH=1547
HEIGHT=1423
SCREEN=0

X, Y, WIDTH and HEIGHT are incorrect. Both width and height are bigger than the actual window.

Can confirm that this is still an issue; windowmove should behave consistently with the coordinates obtained by getwindowgeometry, but the latter ignores the titlebar and window border, while the former does not. Looks like a fix has been prepared in this fork.
