After opening a gnustep application I got tho following result from xprop: [edwin@ottopedi ~]$ xprop -root | grep GNUSTEP
_GNUSTEP_FRAME_OFFSETS(CARDINAL) = 2, 2, 23, 2, 2, 2, 23, 2, 2, 2, 23, 2, 2, 2, 23, 2, 2, 2, 23, 2, 2, 2, 23, 2, 2, 2, 23, 2, 2, 2, 23, 2, 2, 2, 23, 2, 2, 2, 23, 2, 2, 2, 23, 2, 2, 2, 23, 2, 2, 2, 23, 2, 2, 2, 23, 2, 2, 2, 23, 2
As far as I know, these numbers seem to correspond with the fact that the difference between framerect and contentrect is 4 in width and 25 in height.
Is it possible to re-install a cairo 1.12 library beside the current cairo 1.13 library to see if that is still working?

No problem.

No, we need to get GNUstep running on Fedora 20 and I would be
surprised, when this isn't already working for some people.

Did you run at least one GNUstep application before doing that? If so,
we already may be at the source of the problem. Please try this again to
make sure. When the first GNUstep application starts up you will get a
few flickering windows and these will result in the value being set on
the root window.

Fine.

OK, this is a newer version of cairo to the one I am using (1.12.16). It
could be that there was a change in cairo that will require changes in
our code. But we will need a GNustep developer to use this cairo version
to find out.
Is there anybody else out there using a cairo 1.13 release?
The interesting bit here is that there never was a 1.13 release of
cairo. Fedora must have used the cairo trunk at one point and shipped that.
Now it looks like you are in real trouble. It could be that in that
cairo code is a new bug that we are running into, or that it fixes an
old bug that GNUstep still has a workaround or that the behaviour has
just changed.
Most likely changes to this GNUstep back CarioGState method are needed
- (void) compositeGState: (CairoGState *)source
fromRect: (NSRect)srcRect
toPoint: (NSPoint)destPoint
op: (NSCompositingOperation)op
fraction: (CGFloat)delta
but this is one of the most complicate methods in that file. If you feel
very adventurous, go ahead and ply with it.
Sorry, I don't have any other idea what could be done.
