I have a strange and irritating problem. For some reason, XMMS has started displaying two of its popup windows (Preferences and Play Directory) in an inconvenient location. It's like it's trying to center the popup windows on the XMMS player. The problem is that I'm running XMMS in mini-shade mode at the top of the screen. So, when I open, for instance, the preferences dialog, the top of it is placed above the top of the screen, so I can't see most of it and--more importantly--I can't drag it down. I have to move XMMS to the middle of the screen before I open either of these two dialogs. Also, it's only these two dialogs--all the others pop up where the dialog is completely on-screen.
I tried removing my ~/.xmms directory, but that didn't help.
I'm not sure if this is an XMMS problem or a problem with my window manager, but it didn't do it before...it just started happening, and I can't remember changing anything.
I'm running Slackware 9.1, XMMS 1.2.10, and XFCE 4.0.4.
did you try looking in the context menu (right click on main xmms window) > Options > Preferences? click the options tab and see if those things you're seeing is checked.
I'm not sure what you're asking. The problem I'm having is that the Preferences window (and the Play Directory window) open up "centered" on the XMMS player (when I choose them from the context menu). Since I keep the XMMS player at the top edge of the screen, this means the top half of those windows are above the top of the screen. I can't get to the title bar to drag them down, obviously, so I have to move XMMS to the middle of the screen before I open either one of those windows.
ah.... i was confused by what you were asking, like they were popping up without your consent. anyway, hold down the alt key and then drag the window (while holding down the alt key). you can start the drag by clicking anywhere on the window.
