A debian user trying to develop an handwriting application discovered that xfwm didn't support the win_gravity hint. 

As I don't know wm hints very well, I'm forwarding this bug here, in case you can help him. The bug report is available at http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=448443

Regards, and thanks for your work.

Can you try with SVN trunk rev. 26967. (or provide a test case ;-) )

This issue is fixed in version 4.6.1 (Debian). XFWM displays the correct behavior (tested using attached program). Thanks for fixing this!

Hello!
I'm writing program which should resize from bottom of the screen (GDK_GRAVITY_SOUTH_WEST),
it works with metacity,kwin,openbox but not with xfwm4.

program for test in attachment.

expecting result:
 when user press button, window resizes, but placed always at bottom of the screen.

(win.x+win.height)<=screen.height

actual result:
window goes off the screen

sorry in previous post formula is incorrect, it should be
(win.y+win.height)<=screen.height
