Summary: Aspect ratio hints not working (KDE 3.2)

Initial Comment:
jun 12 23:43:27 <kandinski>     ok, just wanted you to know
I love the way it keeps the 3:4 aspect ratio when
resizing, but...
jun 12 23:44:09 <kandinski>     ...when using a mask for
another aspect ratio, maybe it would be better if the
window assumed that aspect ratio instead of blacking
out the non-picture sections
jun 12 23:45:22 <kandinski>     Does not on KDE/Debian SID
jun 12 23:46:20 <vektor>        I developed that feature under
KDE 3.1.2/3.1.4 on Debian unstable.
jun 12 23:46:27 <vektor>        It worked there because KDE
3.1 did not support the aspect ratio hint.
jun 12 23:46:46 <vektor>        Now that I'm using KDE 3.2.2
on Debian unstable, it also does not work for me.
jun 12 23:47:55 <vektor>        We don't force the window to
be 4:3, your window manager does.
jun 12 23:48:00 <vektor>        But only if it supports this
feature.
jun 12 23:48:04 <vektor>        KDE 3.1 does not.
jun 12 23:48:08 <vektor>        KDE 3.2 does.
jun 12 23:48:18 <vektor>        So when I wrote the mask code,
I could not have known it would break for WMs that
support aspect hints.
jun 12 23:48:39 <vektor>        Now that I have such a WM, I
can reproduce the bug.
jun 12 23:48:45 <vektor>        So I will have to fix it in
tvtime.
