wrong eworkpanel position

[nobody]

efltk 2.0.6
ede 1.1

System: Ubuntu Dapper
Resolution: 1280x1024

ede is launched by putting "exec startede" in .xsession

Problem:
eworkpanel start in wrong vertical position. It is
placed  "height of screen" minus "height of eworkpanel"
pixels too high on the screen. Below the eworkpanel is
a black space instead of the background image. I can
move windows underneath the panel and they will show in
the black space.

How to reproduce:
Every time ede is started this problem occur.

Hi.

Thank you for brief details (including image)! Seems it 
retrieving wrong monitor resolution. Please can you provide
it's data. Here is how to obtain it:
- open eworkpanel/workpanel.cpp and go to line 616
- uncomment //printf("Free area: %d %d %d %d\n", X,Y,W,H);
- run make

Then find startede (/usr/local/bin/startede usually) and
remove line: "exec eworkpanel". Make sure to for above line
"etip &" remove "&" character. With this, ede will start
without eworkpanel. After you start it, open some terminal,
go to eworkpanel source directory and run ./eworkpanel.

It should show something like Free area: XXX XXX... That
data post here.

PS.
Sorry for bothering you via this way, I don't have nearby
any monitor with that resolution.

Hello,

No probs here's the data you requested:



Free area: 0 0 1280 1024
No toolbar configuration!
Cannot find default scheme
xbattbar: Can't read proc info: No such file or directory



When starting it like this (executing the workpanel after
everything has loaded) the problem does not show itself.
eworkpanel is located where it should.

I also noticed that the first time I logged in to ede today,
before removing eworkpanel from the startede script, the
problem was not there, but logging out and in again produced
the misplacement.

Ooops, forgot to mention that if I do let eworkpanel launch
in startede it will of course be in the wrong vertical
position. And if I then start another eworkpanel here's the
output:

Free area: 0 0 1280 994

I might as well add this while I'm experimenting:

If I let the startede script sleep at the end before
launching eworkpanel the vertical placement is correct

Old code: exec eworkpanel
New code: (sleep 2; exec eworkpanel)

Starting another eworkpanel after ede has loaded produces an
eworkpanel that has the wrong placement. "Free area: 0 0
1280 994"
