You do. Positioning of windows on Unix/X11 isn't done by the application or
the toolkit, but by the window manager.
Does this imply that there is a way to do it in MS Windows? How?
Matthias, you know better for sure but all I am asking for is to deal with RTL
and LTR adequately. Isn't setGeometry a function of Qt or is it related to
X11? I can now do:
QTextEdit *text = new QTextEdit;
text->setGeometry(200, 50, 500, 500); // Postive x,y For LTR
I want to be able to do something like
QTextEdit *text = new QTextEdit;
text->setGeometry(-200, -50, 500, 500); // Negative x,y for RTL
or something along this line. If it can be done _via Qt_ for LTR why not for
RTL?
Note: If you convinced me this is not a bug in Qt, you would be surprised that
you won't get rid of issue #26 since there is another issue *mistakenly*
titled Arabic issue #26: QTextBrowser crashes with some web pages. Deal with
it ;)
