Well, you _have_ to use a window manager, because AFAIK no X
application knows how to resize itself.  I'm not sure how you are
getting horizontal resizing...maybe some internal firefox control
(like the bookmarks side-panel resizer control) is showing up and
allowing you to resize the main frame, which is causing firefox to
resize.  If you don't want a full desktop environment, try twm, fvwm,
fluxbox, or something similarly lightweight.  You could also start
firefox with firefox -width X -height Y.

 This is a bad link,

 .mozilla/firefox/k6z1oz36.default/lock -
 127.0.0.1:7029

Ignore this.  It is a lock file, not an actual link.  The link name
indicates the host it is running on and the process ID of firefox.  Do
not remove it, or you could start two instances of firefox at the same
time, and hose your config files.

I spoke too soon. A look at xinitrc reveals I do have
the default twm.

[gentoo-user] can't resize firefox window vertically

2005-12-25 Thread maxim wexler
Hello everybody,

My apologies if you've already seen this. I don't
think I hit 'send' the first time.

I can't see the status bar in my firefox window, it's
out of sight below the bottom margin of the screen.
Clicking the right upper corner and dragging the mouse
only can alter the horizontal size, not the vertical.
I'm not using a window mgr. Don't tell me I have to
install gnome or kde.

This is a bad link, 

[EMAIL PROTECTED] ~ $ ls -l .mozilla/firefox/k6*/lock

.mozilla/firefox/k6z1oz36.default/lock -
127.0.0.1:7029

Before I removed it, can someone explain what it's
doing there in the first place blinking ominously red?
