<p>Reinhard M&#252;ller (reinhard) had a <quote who="Reinhard M&#252;ller">question 
regarding boxes - if I have a box x=10 y=10 width=20 height=20 - what is 
the top left</quote> and bottom right <quote who="Reinhard M&#252;ller">character 
position that I can use inside this box?</quote> James Thompson (jamest) 
said that <quote who="James Thompson">unless it's changed the box starts 
in 10,10 to 30,30 with the outter most positions taken up by border - so 
11,11 29,29 would be usable</quote>. He confirmed this with a sample 
form in Designer. The width and height parameters were 
<quote who="James Thompson">the size of the box on the screen - not the 
usable space of the box</quote>. However, previously 
<quote who="James Thompson">I was hoping to make box intelligently handle 
heights and widths of 1 - so we could have seperator lines with or 
without titles</quote>.</p>

<p>Johannes Vetter (johannesV) reported <quote who="Johannes Vetter">troubles 
using form.dumpXML()</quote>. After some digging, Reinhard M&#252;ller (reinhard) 
reported <quote who="Reinhard M&#252;ller">you do that dumpXML after the connection 
trigger objects have been inserted into the XML tree - which is done in phase 
1 init</quote> of loading a new form. He suggested 
<quote who="Reinhard M&#252;ller">it might be a bad idea how the connection trigger 
objects are faked into the form tree now</quote> - it would be better to 
change the object type being used from a ConnTrigObj (Connection Trigger Object) 
to a proper, standard, GCConnection (GNUe Common Connection). Johannes changed 
this and confirmed <quote who="Johannes Vetter">yeah, works fine</quote>. Reinhard 
requested <quote who="Reinhard M&#252;ller">please commit that change - 
with a note that it is necessary for dumpXML to work after these objects have 
been created - you should now see all &lt;connection&gt; tags in the xml 
tree</quote>. Johannes confirmed this - <quote who="Johannes Vetter">they're 
all at the end of the file</quote>. Reinhard noted that the fact that they 
had been able to substitute a GCConnection object for a ConnTrigObj so 
easily made him wonder if <quote who="Reinhard M&#252;ller">the ConnectionTriggerObj 
could possibly be merged with the GConnection object... will add that as a 
wishlist item</quote>.</p>
