Summary: X11: SDL_SetWindowSize always resets the window position to zero

Description Daniel 2017-04-26 17:29:06 UTC 
The problem is that when XResizeWindow emits ConfigureNotify, x and y of the XConfigureEvent struct set to zero, because the function doesn't change the coordinates.

This means that XResizeWindow always resets the window position to zero in SDL_x11_events.c by sending SDL_WINDOWEVENT_MOVED.

I do not know whether it's possible to distinguish resizing from moving in X11, but one possible solution is to add X11_XMoveWindow() after X11_XResizeWindow() in X11_SetWindowSize(). It's not perfect since SDL_WINDOWEVENT_MOVED
event will still be generated on resizing, but at least it (and SDL_GetWindowSize()) will have the right position instead of zero.

Ryan, can you look at this? Is there a mask of changes that we're not paying attention to?
