1. X11 environment tells X11 apps that screen area's top left

manager.
Enlightenment window manager puts a thin horizontal bar at the top
of the screen, which is a "grab bar" for the different workspaces.
Under Apple's stock X11 implementation, Enlightenment would draw
the grab bar just below OS-X's menu bar. Workspaces could be
grabbed, moved as they were designed. Under the development X11
2.3.1, Enlightenment draws the grab bars underneath the OS-X menu
bar, so they are invisible and inaccessible. I can switch
workspaces other ways within the window manager, but this is a
major impediment. It would be better if the X11 screen area was
below the OS-X menubar.
Is there a setting I am missing, or something I could add to a
config file to take care of this?
Hmm... this is going to be a pickle to deal with. We're reporting
the full screen size because that is what is going to be used when
we enable full screen support in the WM or when we enable rooted
mode (also fullscreen without the mac menu bar)...
I'll probably have to add in some logic for the transition between
these phases much like when a new monitor is plugged in... hmm...
How about this simpler scheme until monitor plugging works: just
truncate the menu bar's pixels from the "full-screen" display. I doubt
anyone will care much about that loss of screen real estate.
