I have tried various Remember > settings and nothing sticks. i think you will find the app is saving its last state and trying to restore it on start. this is supremely annoying and in the past i have used e's locks and remembers. 1. tell e to remember the window (eg position and size) AND rememeber locks 2. set up locks to "disallow app from moving/resizing/maximizing" etc. and watch the problems go away. :) give it a try. this is precisely why e has these features - to let you spank badly behaving apps and send them to bed without supper. :) -- ------------- Codito, ergo sum - "I code, therefore I am" -------------- The Rasterman (Carsten Haitzler) [email protected] ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Check out the vibrant tech community on one of the world's most engaging tech sites, SlashDot.org! http://sdm.link/slashdot _______________________________________________ enlightenment-users mailing list [email protected] https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/enlightenment-users
