specifying position of a wxFrame?

wxPython Users
1

Why doesn't my specified frame position take effect? No matter what I
set the position to, the window shows up at the same spot on the screen.
Thank you.

wxPython 2.5.2.7, gtk 1.2
python 2.3

#!/usr/bin/env python

import wx

class MyFrame(wx.Frame):

    def __init__(self):
        wx.Frame.__init__(self, None, -1, ' P-Yoo!', wx.Point(300,300))

class MyApp(wx.App):

    def OnInit(self):
        self.frame = MyFrame()
        self.frame.Show(True)
        self.SetTopWindow(self.frame)
        return 1

app = MyApp()
app.MainLoop()

On Windows XP with the same version of Python and wxPython, it seems to
position on the screen correctly.

Thanks. So it's probably either a bug in wxGTK or GTK itself. Anyone know for sure?

Have you checked your Window Manager preferences? There are options
such as smart positioning, positioning in the center, etc. that might
affect what you want.

Hey thanks! I didn't even think of that. It wasn't a bug at all. Just my ignorance. :slight_smile:
