My problem is varible screen sizes. I use the same setup files for
screens ranging from 600x400 to 1900x1200
That is a very large variation and requaires font chnages for xterms,
overlapping multiple windows on small screens and a standard two columns
of text windows on larger screens. handling a 'left' offset for screens
running a gnome panel, and space on the right for monitors and status
reporting windows.
i also have to deal with adjusting the width of the workspace map window
for varing aspect ratios, and overlaying a
'logout/restart/reboot/shutdown' menu buttoin on top of that window.
Not only do I handle different screens but also different OS's from old
SunOS, to HPUX, to multiple flavors of linux, and in all the above
different versions of CTwm.
As such I do not think a 'weird screen size' is a problem, as I am
probably worse off than you :-)

Thanks.

yes I know, but I can't get it to set a geometry size like "100x200"
and still have RandomPlacement work!!!
I would also love to be able to redefine RandomPlacement to be
offset +25-25 from last new window placement. instead of the current
+20+20 RandomPlacement currently provides. :-)
EG: I'd like be be able to define what RandomPlacement actually means,
weather it is actually random, or a positions sequence relative to the
last 'placement' or the last new window (they are two different things!)
Better still define 'placement policy' basied on window types.
