[vlc-devel] [PATCH] xcb: set the window position after mapping the window instead of during creation

[Felix Abecassis]

Thanks,

You are right, it would be better to have a way to know if the user
explicitly set the window position. However this change would impact
many vout modules since they would all need to check the value of
video-x/video-y against "-1" if we do it this way. I think the second
hunk of this patch should still be applied and we should create a new
ticket to implement the behaviour you've mentioned.
