GNOME: Incorrect sizes and multi monitor support behavior about cortile HOT 3 OPEN

Accounting for the GNOME top bar is probably possible through the config, but I'm reporting it since it could be caused by a bigger issue.

I assume you are using GNOME with mutter, where panel auto detection doesn't work (#27 (comment)) and there is no know fix for this ATM. You can use the edge_margin and edge_margin_primary config entries to account for additional margins.

Proper multimonitor support could probably be achieved, but a quick workaround (that would add as a nice feature) would be to disable cortile completely on monitors of your choice.

Actually cortile disables/enables tiling per monitor, depending on your mouse position when execution the keyboard shortcut as discussed here (#16 (comment)). If this is not the case under GNOME let me know, as this could be related to some other issues.

Windows are never automatically placed on my primary monitor and moving them around monitors is incredibly annoying and unstable.

Some distros and/or individual applications may reload the latest window position, which could cause issues for cortile. Please try to find your default behavior when cortile is not executed and then compare it when running cortile -v -cache 0. This disables the internal cortile cache, which would also try to reload the latest window positions.

Systray never starts and is not present.

For the systray issue you should have a look into the systray library (which is used by cortile). For GNOME snixembed and gnome-shell-extension-appindicator is mentioned there.

Please also check the issues section, cortile is known to have some problems in GNOME (mainly caused by poor EWMH implementations).

Please try the latest v2.3.2 release and let me know if some of the mentioned issues have been improved.

Sorry, I haven't had any time to test this, (or to address your first message) but I'll get back to you between today and tomorrow.
