Hi all,

I'm trying to get freevo to open up at a pre-defined window position. So
far, I've scanned the pygame code and it seems that this libary doesn't
support setting the size as well as the offset of a new window.

As a workaround, I made a small script which runs as
OSD_SDL_EXEC_AFTER_STARTUP, that uses "xwit -move X Y -names Freevo" to
move the window. This works fine, but reveals a slight inconsistency
between playing a movie and playing a game.

When playing a movie, you can select freevo to either keep its window or
close and open (OSD_STOP_WHEN_PLAYING), but for games it always closes the
freevo window.

As a fix, I've included:
if config.OSD_SDL_EXEC_AFTER_STARTUP:
    os.system(OSD_SDL_EXEC_AFTER_STARTUP)
in the osd.py:restart() function. But I'm in doubt whether this is desired
behavior (I would say not actually).

Am I missing a more elegant/straightforward way of positioning the freevo
window?

Kind regards,
 Jelle
