Hi Thomas,

My CentOS 6 laptop seems to be working better now that I upgraded
cmake from 2.8.11.x to 2.8.12.2 , compiled SDL2 to the latest HG tip ,
and compiled Hatari to the latest HG tip.

I have not upgraded SDL2 on my CentOS 5 desktop yet.

Hatari ST mode, default config, old core, SDL2,
CentOS 6, Dell Inspiron 1525 core2 laptop.

This problem no longer happens on my CentOS 6 laptop.
I believe the problem was first noticed with the Hatari window
automatically placed on the desktop, then noticed with the
Hatari window placed in the exact center of the desktop after
a F11 switch to fullscreen, then noticed regardless of where I
manually placed the Hatari window.

Hatari ST mode, default config, old core, SDL2.

This still happens. (not a bug?)

I assumed that the Hatari window should not move from where I
originally placed it, regardless of toggling between fullscreen and
window mode. I suppose Gnome2 / CentOS 6 / SDL2 simply
places the Hatari window in the center of the desktop after toggling
from fullscreen.

I just noticed a another problem on my CentOS 6 / SDL2 / Hatari.
- have Hatari in windowed mode
- press F12 to get to SDL menu
- drag a terminal window over Hatari
- notice Hatari window is smudged and Not refreshed.

I will report Hatari / SDL2 problems as I find them.

Sincerely,
