Thanks for the suggestion! Smart placement, here, nearly always puts a new window in the top-left corner of the screen. That is the one place where I *never* want it. Some definition of smart, no? I always specify random placing nowadays. -- Rgds Peter Linux Counter 5290, 1994-04-23
[gentoo-user] two question about Xfce
Dear All, I have two question about Xfce: - I have two monitors and the panel takes place on the right side of the left monitor vertically. To put another form, the panel takes place in 1440x0 position. The applications are able to go down to the panel if I put them full screen mode. To be honest, it's annoying me. I'm not able to decide whether is this a bug or I configured something in bad way. The situation is the same under KDE. I wrote about this problem earlier and somebody mentioned that there is a related bug in the bugtracker of the KDE Team and it could be KWin defect. Is used kwin under xfce somehow? If a KDE application is used kwin always gets in the picture? - How can I set up the position of the newly started application in Xfce? For example, if I start a new application (Openoffice, Chromium, Kile, etc.) it's fitted to the center of the screen. In this case it's very uncomfortable for me because my screen is 2880x900 px (because of the two monitors) and the center is 1440x0 which is under the panel. Thanks for any help in advance!
