Pager starts on leftmost monitor instead of primary one

[dl8dtl]

Upfront Information

Please provide the following information by running the command and providing
the output.

• Fvwm3 version (run: fvwm3 --version)

fvwm3 1.0.7 (released)
with support for: ReadLine, XPM, PNG, Shape, XShm, SM, XRandR, XRender, XCursor, XFT, NLS

• Linux distribution or BSD name/version

FreeBSD 12.4-STABLE

• Platform (run: uname -sp)

FreeBSD amd64

Expected Behaviour

Pager appears in indicated (e.g. top left) corner of primary monitor.

Actual Behaviour

Pager appears in indicated (e.g. top left) corner of leftmost monitor.

In situations where the leftmost monitor is smaller than the primary one, this might cause the pager to not be visible at all.

fvwm2 did handle this correctly.

Steps to Reproduce

• Setup a configuration with more than one monitor, and make any monitor other than leftmost the primary one (using xrandr, arandr etc.)
• Start the pager

Does Fvwm3 crash?

no

Extra Information

[ThomasAdam]

Seems to be working just fine for me. Can you share your FvwmPager configuration, and any relevant Style lines you might have in your configuration for FvwmPager?

[dl8dtl]

Strange. Same behaviour here for the ButtonBox, btw.
The configuration has been migrated from fvwm2 (using fvwm-convert-2.6).

I think that are all the relevant parts. The config file has been migrated and migrated and migrated … I've been using fvwm for probably 30 years now.

Maybe it's the "+10+10" that is now misinterpreted? It used to be interpreted to the primary screen before.

[ThomasAdam]

You can always add @p to the end of the geometry string.

I have other fixes for this though.

[dl8dtl]

You can always add @p to the end of the geometry string.

OK, that helps. It would make sense then if fvwm-convert-2.6 appended the @p.

Will reference this here: #878

No code changes required.

Thanks, good idea.
