Bug#706765: hex controls inaccessible when launched with smaller window sizes

[chrysn]

Package: warzone2100
Version: 3.1~rc2-1
Severity: normal

when warzone2100 in windowed mode is launched in a tiling window manager
that initially assigns a smaller window size than requested (ie when the
hex tiles would not show up in the reduced size window), they can not be
clicked even if the window is later given more space.

i have tested it with i3wm on a 1440x1050 screen with 1280x1024
configured warzone resolution, with ten other windows open in stacked
mode, and switched to floating mode at the start screen.

in comparison, when the windows are open in tabbed mode, the initial
window is big enough, and the controls are accessible from the
beginning.


generally for windowed mode, i'd suggest not to explicitly enforce a
window size, but to accept whichever reasonable size is provided (ie
users can resize the window on the fly); implementing that might also
solve this problem.
