WMSaveYourself geometry "errors"

[xhonzi]

When we have a P/Tk gui up and running, it reports roughly every 3-4 minutes what the geometry of the GUI is. It looks like this:

postWMSaveYourself:GUI -geometry 780x500+1400+100 -iconic
preWMSaveYourself:GUI -geometry 780x500+1400+100 -iconic

I'm guessing something isn't set up right. This happens with every P/Tk GUI we have, so I'm thinking it's not a code problem.

Has anyone ecountered this before?

Do you call the WMSaveYourself function in your code?

Looks like Tk::CmdLine uses this function, and I googled and found a post on some mailing list that might indicate there is an problem w/ that function.

But I don't think the problem is affecting you, the problem they were pointing out is that there appears to be a potentially never ending loop in the MWSaveYourself subroutine.

Anyways, redirecting stdout to the trash (in your code) will work, but even better would be to pump out problems to the system console. Methods to do that will depend on your platform.

No, we don't call WMS.Y. in the code. The simplest of Tk GUI's will produce the output. Also, the output appears even when STDOUT and STDERR are reassigned.

Actually, let me take it back. I reassigned STDERR and they seemed to have gone away. Not the best solution, but it's a step.
