Bug 1017

Summary: x11: initial resize event gets lost
Product: SDL Reporter: Robert Vollmert <rvollmert>
Component: videoAssignee: Sam Lantinga <slouken>
Status: RESOLVED FIXED QA Contact: Sam Lantinga <slouken>
Severity: normal    
Priority: P2

Hardware: x86_64   
OS: Linux   

Description Robert Vollmert 2010-07-03 01:39:19 UTC 
Window managers may resize windows prior to their first being mapped. SDL doesn't pass this resize event on (in SDL_PrivateResize, SDL_VideoSurface is NULL at that time). As far as I can tell, there's no way for the application to know the initial window size.

I believe this is an architectural problem that is resolved with SDL 1.3.

Thanks!
