It seems to be all window managers. I've used kwm (with KDE), enlightenment, fvwm, fvwm95, so far - and all them have the same problem. My current (and probably final) window manager is kwm. The problem is partly the initial placement of windows - and the -geometry option helps a great deal - but the issue is more based in the fact that I shouldn't have to do this for every single window - and there are some windows I can't fix in this way. For example, Everytime I right click in KDE to bring up a properties dialog, it is always half on and half off the screen. A window should NEVER be placed beyond the physical limits of the current resolution. Also, there are quite a few KDE windows that are just to big for 640x480 in the first place - and since I can't fix them with the -geometry option, I constantly have to move them around to use them. Another example - every time I start up emacs, the window created is much larger than my actual resolution. I can maximize the window to bring it back to my 640x480 restraints, or use the geometry option - but why is this window created beyond my screen size in the first place? It seems to me this is a window-manager bug - but so far all window managers have exhibited it. PS - the man pages are no help with this issue. I'm pretty sure I've searched everywhere on this one, but someone, please, correct me if I'm wrong - I'd LOVE to fix this beast. -Jay
