Gtk.GtkWindowPosition.CENTER doesn't work

[xetum]

using Gtk
win = GtkWindow("My First Gtk.jl Program", 400, 200)
win.window_position[Int] = Gtk.GtkWindowPosition.CENTER
showall(win)

window at top-left

[tknopp]

yes indeed. doesn't work here either

[lobingera]

1. is gtk_window_set_position called?
2. gtk docu says: "Window placement can be influenced using this enumeration. Note that using GTK_WIN_POS_CENTER_ALWAYS is almost always a bad idea. It won’t necessarily work well with all window managers or on all windowing systems."

You can use Gtk.GAccessor.position(win, Gtk.GtkWindowPosition.CENTER) to call gtk_window_set_position but it doesn't seem to work so well.

There's also gtk_window_move:

using Gtk, Gtk.ShortNames
# Create window
mainWin = Window()
# Properties for mainWin
set_gtk_property!(mainWin, :title, "SimBioReactor 1.0")
set_gtk_property!(mainWin, :window_position, 3)
