1) Start the panel in vertical mode (do not swith to vertical mode that wouldn't show, really start the panel in vertical mode) 2) xprop -root | grep NET_DESKTOP_LAYOUT\( gives _NET_DESKTOP_LAYOUT(CARDINAL) = 1, 1, 0, 0 3) Switch the panel horizontally 4) xprop -root | grep NET_DESKTOP_LAYOUT\( still gives _NET_DESKTOP_LAYOUT(CARDINAL) = 1, 1, 0, 0 while it should show _NET_DESKTOP_LAYOUT(CARDINAL) = 0, 0, 1, 0 Oddly enough, that work perfectly if the panel is started horizontally.
Hmm, since I don't actually do anything, this should be in the netk-pager code. I'll have a look.
I think the problem comes from the destroy/create of the pager widget when orientation changes. Why not simply using netk_pager_set_orientation () instead? I think destroying the widget and creating a new one immediatly after can break the update of the root property. Cheers, Olivier.
Yup, you're right. I have absolutely no idea why it worked like that. I'm thinking it may be left over from the time the pager and the switcher were the same module... Xfce History Quiz: when were these plugins split up? Hint: think years, not months. Should be fixed now, thanks.
